  • uniform resource locator decay in dermatology journals: Author attitudes and preservation practices
    Archives of dermatology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Jonathan D. Wren, Kathryn Johnson, David M. Crockett, Lauren F. Heilig, Lisa M. Schilling, Robert P. Dellavalle
    Abstract:

    Objectives To describe dermatology journal uniform resource locator (URL) use and persistence and to better understand the level of control and awareness of authors regarding the availability of the URLs they cite. Design Software was written to automatically access URLs in articles published between January 1, 1999, and September 30, 2004, in the 3 dermatology journals with the highest scientific impact. Authors of publications with unavailable URLs were surveyed regarding URL content, availability, and preservation. Main Outcome Measures uniform resource locator use and persistence and author opinions and practices. Results The percentage of articles containing at least 1 URL increased from 2.3% in 1999 to 13.5% in 2004. Of the 1113 URLs, 81.7% were available (decreasing with time since publication from 89.1% of 2004 URLs to 65.4% of 1999 URLs) ( P The Journal of Investigative Dermatology (22.1%) and lowest in the Archives of Dermatology (14.8%) ( P =.03). Some content was partially recoverable via the Internet Archive for 120 of the 204 unavailable URLs. Most authors (55.2%) agreed that the unavailable URL content was important to the publication, but few controlled URL availability personally (5%) or with the help of others (employees, colleagues, and friends) (6.7%). Conclusions uniform resource locators are increasingly used and lost in dermatology journals. Loss will continue until better preservation policies are adopted.

  • The shadow uniform resource locator: standardizing citations of electronically published materials.
    Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA, 2000
    Co-Authors: Joseph V. Dicarlo, Xavier Pastor, Barry P. Markovitz
    Abstract:

    Citation of scientific materials published on the Internet is often cumbersome because of unwieldy uniform resource locators (URLs). The authors describe a format for URLs that simplifies citation of scholarly materials. Its use depends on a simple HTML device, the “refresh page.” uniform citation would follow this format: [Author I. Title of article. ]. The HTML code for such a page is: 〈HTML〉 〈head〉 〈meta HTTP-EQUIV=“Refresh” CONTENT=“0; URL= ”〉 〈/head〉 〈/HTML〉. The code instructs the browser to suppress the content of the refresh page and bring up the title page of the cited article instead. Citations would be succinct and predictable. An electronic journal would not need to alter its existing file hierarchy but would need to establish a distinct domain name and maintain a file of refresh pages. Utilization of the “shadow” URL would bring us one step closer to truly universal resource locators.

    Abstract:

    The Editor gratefully acknowledges the efforts of Ahmed A. Saada, MD, a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Md, for his meticulous work in assembling the following list of additional otolaryngology sites available on the World Wide Web. (A cautionary note–the uniform resource locator addresses of Web sites can change without warning.) The reader's attention is also directed to the initial listing, found in the February issue of theArchives(1996;122:115), and to an informative commentary found in this issue on page 921.
