Do your assignments suffer from Reference Rot ? ( No ... it ’ s just the way I cite !)
The internet is a constantly changing medium and students use it increasingly to provide sources for the references that appear in their bibliographies . Recent research by Klein ( 2014 , online ) has discovered that up to 20 % of scholarly articles now suffer from reference rot — where hyperlinks are either broken or no longer work ( link rot ) or where the link now points to content which is not the same as it was when the reference was first used ( content drift ). In response , EDINA , the University of Edinburgh and the Los Alamos National Laboratory Research Library have founded Hiberlink . org to support proactive archiving .
