With the increased use of the World Wide Web has come an increase in the number of Uniform Resource Locator (URL) references cited in journals. Out of the 17,698 references we collected from five biomedical informatics journals between 1999 and 2005, 6.8% contained URLs. Overall, 22.6% of these URLs were inaccessible. In-press articles had 10.8% unavailable URLs. Approaches that guarantee permanent access to URL citations of scientific publications are needed.
随着万维网使用的增加,期刊中引用的统一资源定位符(URL)数量也在增加。在1999年至2005年间,我们从五本生物医学信息学期刊收集的17698条参考文献中,6.8%包含URL。总体而言,这些URL中有22.6%无法访问。印刷中的文章有10.8%的URL无法访问。需要采取措施确保对科学出版物的URL引用进行永久访问。
