9.6 Million Links in Source Code Comments: Purpose, Evolution, and Decay
arxiv.org/abs/1901.07440
after quick read:
* ~80% of sw repos have >=1 URL in comments
* ~81% of links are still 200 (19% mix of 404, 500, 403, 405)
* expected decay nums; 1st study of links in comments?

What I didn't see:
* checking for "soft 404s" - 200s that say "can't find record" doi.org/10.1145/988672…
* content drift - still 200 but aboutness changed doi.org/10.1371/journa… (cited, but for something else)
* normalizing for time e.g, link_age = 1 day vs link_age = 1 year

Also appears that they fixed links in a method similar to "Moved but not gone: an evaluation of real-time methods for discovering replacement web pages" -- using #mementos to generate keywords to find new URL on live web (vs. linking to archived copy)
