In my thesis, I have added some links as footnotes. I have seen it in some published papers also. But my supervisor tells me to not to add footnotes to them, but add citations. The links I have added cannot be considered as direct references, therefore, as I think, I should not go for citations for them. They are not from published papers. They are just some links. This is an example: [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8XXO8.png) Following link gives an example of a published paper with similar footnotes.(page number 4 of the pdf) [https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/14956/Music&Mood-final.pdf](https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/14956/Music&Mood-final.pdf) I am sort of confused now. What is the methodology I should follow?. Which way is correct?
