Abstract:

This study focused on the most prominent online-only journal in our area, the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication. Using a case study approach, we analyzed all articles published over a four-year period, measuring how many of their online citations remained accessible. More than 35 percent of the URLs cited were inaccessible. Factors that affect the stability of online citations were discussed. We also reviewed both positive and negative characteristics of online journals.
