Website intelligence — Scout synthesis
- Perma.cc is a web archiving service that creates permanent records of cited web sources to prevent link rot W3W29.
- The homepage emphasizes the problem of link rot: over 50% of cited links in Supreme Court opinions and roughly 70% in academic legal journals no longer point to the intended page W12.
- The service is built and supported by libraries and offers free unlimited plans to academic libraries and courts, with paid plans for other groups W4W40W41.
- Scout inference: The site's primary value proposition is citation integrity for scholarly and legal audiences, making it a niche tool rather than a general-purpose archiving service.

| integrations | Perma.cc is a service that helps prevent link rot. Use it to preserve the online sources you cite and to make those records accessible to your readers. | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | What is link rot? | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | Link rot (and “reference rot”) happens when you cite to an online source that later disappears or changes. It's a big problem, especially for academic scholarship and judicial opinions, which depend heavily on citations to stable sources that readers can access. For example, a study conducted by researchers at Harvard Law School found that more than 70% of the links in a sample of law journals and 50% of the links in Supreme Court opinions no longer work. | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | Perma.cc and its consortium of participating libraries are working to solve this problem. | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | How does Perma.cc work? | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | You give Perma.cc the URL of the page you want to preserve and cite. Our software visits that URL, preserves what's there, deposits it into our collection, and gives you a unique URL (e.g. "perma.cc/ABCD-1234") - a "Perma Link" - that points to the record in our collection. | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | You then can use that Perma Link in your citation to give readers access to a stable, accurate record of the source you referenced, even if the original disappears from the web. | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | Perma.cc example | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | Suppose you're a professor working on an article and you want to link to the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted List. Because that list changes over time, your link is going to rot and your future readers won't be able to access your actual source at the original URL. That's bad for you and your readers. | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | But if you give Perma.cc the web address - e.g. http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten - our software will visit the page, make a record of it and give you a unique URL that points to the preserved record - e.g. perma.cc/T8U2-994F. | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | You can add the new Perma Link to your citation, and your future readers will be able to access the intended source no matter what happens to the original page. | https://perma.cc/docs |

| integrations | Perma.cc Basics | https://perma.cc/docs |
| integrations | To preserve web pages with Perma.cc, you need an account. Anyone can create an account, but your ability to use Perma to preserve web pages depends on your affiliations or paid usage plan. | https://perma.cc/docs |
