According to Bugeja and Dimitrova, “It would take five years for half of the online citations in journals to decay.”  Prior to reading these articles I was unaware of this, and some other useful tips that the authors shared.  What I also thought was interesting was the article saying, “Different online domains may be more stable than others.” So depending on whether a website ends in .org, .net, .edu, or .gov, the authors say some were more stable for online citations than others were.  I thought that this would be useful to know, especially since there are papers that require this and the semester is coming to a close.
