so... they're not her citations in the sense of "things that I have written" but instead, changed or modified websites that now have dead links, with no pointers to the data.

I had the same problem this morning in looking for some old Mac software...

Thank you for being one of the only people to bring up the point of the article. It means the actual citations not the work being cited.

However, as the article points out, it is possible (perhaps even easy) to hunt down updated links to the research. Instead they were deleted.

If that was done to a Wikipedia article the article would be flagged and either the text deleted or the link fixed. So in a sense Wikipedia has much higher standards.

If anything this is a fable of SEO. Why you should always make sure your legacy URLs provide proper 301 redirects.
