Abstract

Translate

Miller discusses the challenges faced by academic scholarship. In 2020, he was a few months into his doctoral dissertation process with the idea that he would be researching plagiarism in the digital publication system. That was when he first encountered the true extent of link rot in digital scholarship. Link rot is the phenomenon of resources becoming inaccessible across time when their originally cited location is relocated or permanently unavailable.
