At the moment only the introduction is available to view online (link at the bottom of the Ashgate page given above).

As and when any of the individual chapters are self-archived elsewhere, we’ll ask the authors to place a note here to that effect. (In the meantime, if you think it would be useful, please ask your library to order a copy!)

Dot points out that today would have been Ross’s 50th birthday. I’m reminded again of how much I miss him, and how cruel it is to have lost such a colleague and friend in his prime.

Happy birthday, Ross. Wish you could be here to see the cool stuff that’s being done with the projects you started.

Comment on How to Cite e-Resources without Stable URLs by Matteo Romanello

Matteo Romanello — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:07:18 +0000

WebCite® it’s an attempt to fix this problem developed in the medical field

It’s an “on-demand archiving system for webreferences (cited webpages and websites, or other kinds of Internet-accessible digital objects), which can be used by authors, editors, and publishers of scholarly papers and books, to ensure that cited webmaterial will remain available to readers in the future”, see http://www.webcitation.org/.

What’s interesting is that WebCite® – as member of the nternational Internet Preservation Consortium – has made a commitment for long-term preservation of archived webreferences.

Perhaps it’s not the definitive solution but at least it’s a step towards.

I don’t think there is an obvious answer to your question. I would put the bar even higher: I would like to be able to cite with a stable URL every part of the text, down to the word level (if it’s a digital edition) or at least the paragpaph for reference works, including revisions that may have taken place. How far away are we from something like this?
