Linking to a JAWRA Paper

The preferred target of a link to a JAWRA paper is its abstract. Viewable by anyone, the abstract gives concise information about the paper, links to the PDF and HTML versions, provides instructions to those who do not have access, and links to related papers.

The simplest way to construct the link is to find the abstract with your browser, then cut-and-past the URL. Here’s an example with a recent paper:

Garrick, Dustin, Katharine Jacobs, and Gregg Garfin, 2008. Models, Assumptions, and Stakeholders: Planning for Water Supply Variability in the Colorado River Basin. Journal of the American Water Resources Association, (JAWRA) 44(2):381-398. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752-1688.2007.00154.x

You can find this paper in the April, 2008 issue (Vol. 44, No. 2) table of contents. Then, just click “Abstract” and this address appears at the top of your browser:  http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119414237/abstract .

The above URL is fairly persistent, since AWRA and Wiley-Blackwell have an interest in making it so. However, for those who insist on a long-lived URL, you can use the Digital Object Identifier (DOI):

http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-1688.2007.00154.x .

Now you know what those strange numbers at the end of a citation do! For more information on Digital Object Identifiers, see http://www.doi.org .
