Internet References Are Frequently Lost: Anyone who has ever typed an Internet address into a Web browser and received a message that the page was not available knows how frustrating it can be to look for information on the Internet. In a study appearing in this week's issue of Science titled "Going, Going, Gone: Lost Internet References," researchers found that very important scientific information is sometimes hard to find on the Internet.
References, the information used by authors to support arguments in journal articles, are increasingly pointing to information on the Internet, and these Internet references are often lost within months, according to a study performed at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.
