The link below will take you to an article debating the reliability of online citations. The article mentions New Media & Society and quotes Steve Jones. I'm not sure how long the article will be available for free... I think up to five days. However, the main point (the URL's given in print journal publications are not very reliable as websites are taken offline or content changes) is a very important one and should be of interest to many of us. Any thoughts?
