status internetsources

[erutten]

Dear SEELANGers,
I am interested in the academic status of internetsources in the humanities.
I am thinking not only of i-publications, but also of the use of discussions
on chatfora
or the amount of google-hits as indicator for an author's popularity. Could
anyone advise me on a good up-to-date article on the question to what extent
it is 'done' to use such information in academic publications today?
Many thanks in advance,
Ellen
