Yes, because... The internet provides unverifiable information.
There is no publishing house imprimatur or its equivalent as in book publishing to validate or authenticate the scholarly worth of an item.
Reputable scholarly articles published online are peer reviewed to the same standard as published articles. By favouring one medium over another we risk deifying the format: Herrnstein and Murray's 'The Bell Curve' is one instance of a published work which many have argued is invalid and refutable, whilst the Bible and Qu'ran will always have their proponents and critics regardless of the format through which they are received - aural, written or online.
