WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: December 14, 2002 Scientists exposed as sloppy reporters -- "A cunning statistical study has exposed scientists as sloppy reporters. When they write up their work and cite other people's papers, most do not bother to read the original." (Comments: How much dose this happen with usability?)
Reader Comments...
How much dose[sic] this happen with usability? probably a lot more, since "Most URL references [stand] more than a 50 percent chance of not existing after only six months." (from a Cornell study at http://www.news.cornell.edu/chronicle/00/12.14.00/web_citations.html [cornell.edu]) I did not read the article I quoted. :-) Posted by: JEH on December 15, 2002 03:41 AM
