Are you someone who cites to the internet a lot? The web's a wonderful resource but can be more fragile than you think. Anyone working in #academia, #journalism, #legaltech- any industry that depends on reliable citations should be on the offense against #linkrot, Perma can help!

Pleased to be spreading the word about link rot on CBC Radio! Our new research shows that the legal record is not the only thing vulnerable to the decaying web.

[Spark CBC Radio @sparkcbc]

You may not know it by name, but you've probably experienced "link rot."

Well, what's just a minor inconvenience to most of us presents an immense challenge for archivists trying to preserve the record of life in the digital age, says @clare__stanton.

[The Verge @verge]

New research shows how many important links on the web get lost to time https://t.co/p9xdHYT6en

[Jonathan Zittrain @zittrain]

Completely true. Election links and COVID data dashboards rot all too quickly unless proactively archived at the time of linking.

[Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society @BKCHarvard]

🔗🔗@john_bowers_, @clare__stanton, and @zittrain explore the substantial link rot and content drift found on the New York Times, exposing the fragility of the Web and the need for new practices, workflows, and technologies. Learn more via @CJR: https://t.co/AIcwq5v9yV

[Adam Ziegler @abziegler]

Thrilled to share important new link rot study by colleagues @zittrain @john_bowers_ and @clare__stanton, published in the Columbia Journalism Review, which examines the entire NYT digital corpus and finds ... you guessed it ... a bunch of rotten links. https://t.co/dyZ9aOdZQr

[Perma.cc @permacc]

We partnered with the @nytimes to understand the scope & nature of #linkrot in their online publication.

Thank you to their team for their partnership & willingness to explore this important topic in digital journalism!

We’re looking for a couple enterprising students to join our intrepid team @HarvardLIL (@opencasebook @permacc @caselawaccess) this summer to explore new ideas and push open access and OER into new, exciting territory: https://t.co/rOSFFg96v0

[Lori Shemka @shemkalegal]

Darn it. 🥴

When link rot is in play, the early bird still does not get the worm.

[Another reminder of @permacc's value.]

[Perma.cc @permacc]

@retorquere @j2bryson @mikarv @github @Yannis_Theo @mathver @PJLeerssen @katestarbird 👋We focus on archiving content that's already on the web, but recently been looking into new ways to help disinfo researchers/investigators capture & manage work. So, we might not be able to help a ton with this specific question, but would be happy to chat if you're interested!

[Perma.cc @permacc]

"Everyone from scholars to Supreme Court justices has debated footnotes vs. endnotes, and online writing has incorporated hyperlinks as a hassle-free way of citing sources, albeit not one without flaws." 👀pst, we have one solution for that!

Link rot is the worst.
