| summary | This document, “Perma: Scoping and Addressing the Problem of Link and Reference Rot in Legal Citations,” authored by Jonathan Zittrain, Kendra Albert, and Lawrence Lessig, explores the critical issue of “link and reference rot” – the decay of online citations – within legal scholarship. It cites research from *The Harvard Law Review* (2014), *The Cobweb* (archive), *The New Yorker* (2015), and *PLOS One* (2014) which demonstrate the significant problem of references becoming outdated and unusable due to website changes or domain name expirations. The core goal of the project is to develop a solution for archiving and preserving legal citations to combat this rot. |
