Read through rules 18.2.1 (General Internet Citation Principles) and 18.2.2 (Citations to Internet Sources). Rule 18.2.1(d) encourages the archiving of Internet sources using reliable archival tools like perma.cc
One of your jobs is to make sure that sources are cited properly, according to The Bluebook. You will often encounter problems in an article you are editing, such as:
Make sure that the citation includes all of the information it is required to have. It is helpful to use the advanced search features of Google Scholar and Google Books and the Pace Library catalog to confirm basic bibliographic information about a source before you start trying to locate it.
Know what are you looking for (book, chapter, article, report, statute, case (domestic, foreign, or international), regulation, UN Document, treaty, website, blog, discussion, arbitral award, etc.) before you start looking for it. It will save you time in the long run!
