“…On the other hand, most of these pages can easily be found using web search engines, because these pages do not disappear from the web but are just moved to other web sites. Yang et al [9] investigated the properties of web pages cited in research papers in three databases, the Chinese Social Science Citation Index; Communication of the ACM, IEEE Computer; and MEDLINE, from the following viewpoints. All of these previous researches mainly focused on statistical analysis of the properties of web pages citing or cited from research papers.…”

“…Though many comparative studies were made to study the citation behaviour among various disciplines (Vaughan and Shaw, 2005;Chen et al, 2009;Yang et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2012), a comprehensive interdisciplinary comparative study with a longer period is yet to be undertaken. This would give an insight into the web citation behaviour of various domains (Riahinia et al, 2011).…”

PurposeThe present study compares the use of web citations as references in leading scholarly journals in Library and Information Science (LIS) and Communication and Media Studies (CMS). A total of 20 journals (each 10 from LIS and CMS) were selected based on the publishing history and reputation published between 2008 and 2017.Design/methodology/approachThe present study compares the use of web citations as references in leading scholarly journals in LIS and CMS. A PHP script was used to crawl the Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) collected from the reference list. A total of 12,251 articles were downloaded and 555,428 references were extracted. Of the 555,428 references, 102,718 web citations were checked for their accessibility.FindingsThe research findings indicated that 76.90% URLs from LIS journals and 84.32% URLs from Communication and Media Studies journals were accessible and others were rotten. The majority of errors were due to HTTP 404 error code (not found) in both the disciplines. The study also tried to retrieve the rotten URLs through Time Travel, which revived 61.76% rotten URLs in LIS journal articles and 65.46% in CMS journal articles.Originality/valueThis is an in-depth and comprehensive comparative study on the availability of web citations in LIS and CMS journals articles spanning a period of 10 years. The findings of the study will be helpful to authors, publishers, and editorial staff to ensure that web citations will be accessible in the future.

“…research data. I would argue that not only are we seeing an increasing number of citations to other resources in reference lists (Yang, Han, Ding, & Song, 2012), but that we can of course group citations by citation type, in addition to the sorting by appearance in the text or last name of first author that is common now.…”
