I am planning to use WebCite for my thesis. - 'Mummi' Thorisson

I use WebCite, but it caused considerable confusion the one time I did so in a formal publication. I sent a letter to the editor at Haematologica, and after several rounds of cluelessness I simply gave up. Part of the cluelessness was that they clearly did not understand WebCite, and wanted me to "verify the date on which I accessed the cited web resources" or some such. Dinosaurs. - Bill Hooker

I 'm afraid there is so many Dinosaurs in our world of Science , especially in medical community ..:( - Ana Ivkovic

I've got some webcite used in a paper coming soon in a PLoS Journal near you - unfortunately they caught my slightly sneaking citations and pushed them into the main text body rather than the references but nonetheless it is a useful service. - Cameron Neylon

thank you, none of my tests has given any positive results for multimedia files, though, did this work out for yours? - Claudia Koltzenburg

No I didn't try with multimedia - as I've not got it to work in the past. Webcite just archives an html copy as I understand it, so multimedia wouldn't be expected to work. Its a problem. - Cameron Neylon

Claudia - as you've just seen http://ff.im/aW3GI we did archive Excel files - I would imagine multimedia files such as m4v might work too - although you would need to supply the viewer - Jean-Claude Bradley

this sounds like a splendid idea, Jean-Claude, has anyone tried this out yet - supplying the viewer? would this actually be done during the archiving procedure on the WebCite server? - Claudia Koltzenburg

not that I know of Claudia - Jean-Claude Bradley
