• Resumen

  • This paper discusses the rate at which selected biochemistry Web site text hyperlinks lost viability and cites reports in which the veracity of Web materials is studied.

Possible causes are discussed, as well as the potential benefits and risks associated with public access to material on the World Wide Web
