Abstract

Purpose: This research has been done with the aim of the study of a web-based resource of URL in Iranian articles of information science indexed in ISI in 2009-2011.
Methodology: The method of this research is citation analysis. The population of this research is all Iranian researchers’ articles in information science (121 articles) in the ISI database that are indexed in SSCI between 2009- 2011. data were analyzed using Excel software.
Findings: These research findings show that generally the most used domain and a file is org. and pdf.internet citation of information science was available in 82 percent, which they decrease to 98 percent after appropriate proceedings and further studies. Also, these research findings show that the most available internet URL addresses in studying articles were found in cited internet URL address. The statues of unavailable internet addresses in all studying articles, from the view of error messages, shows that the most error messages are in articles of information science, error message 403 (forbidden) with 21 percent. The average internet citation half-life calculated is 3 years and 4 months in information science articles.
Conclusion: The results of this research show that the decline of internet addresses must be considered a problem. The problem that some of its main emersion reasons are websites reorganization and changes in internet domains.
