===WebCitation.org=== | |||
Enter the link URL and any email address for the citing author, then press submit. Using the "transparent" WebCite URL is preferred over the short one. This site archives PDF and other media files. | |||
===Archive.is=== | |||
Enter the link URL and press submit. You will then see the new archive URL that can be used in the 'archiveurl' parameter for the 'cite web' template. This site does ''not'' archive PDF and other media files. | |||
