In order to shed some light on the underlying phenomena of link rot, a survival regression model was fitted with data from the unique URLs. This model, shown in Table 3, identified 17 top-level domains, the number of times a URL has been published, a URL's directory structure depth (hereafter referred to as "depth", using the same definition as [15]), the number of times the publishing article(s) has been cited, whether articles contain funding text as well as 4 journals as having a significant impact on a URL's lifetime at the P< 0.001 level. Journals could require authors to submit URLs to both the Internet Archive and WebCite, or alternatively programs similar to those employed in this study could be used to do it automatically. ./cache/doi-org-3035.html ./txt/doi-org-3035.txt
