The latest IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (May 2007) has a very important paper by Dawkins, McFerran, and Luiten "Considerations on the Measurement of the Stability of Oscillators with Frequency Counters"
Many of us use or have used a high resolution reciprocal counter to measure short term stability of a source. This paper shows that the result is often off by 33% and can be off by more than an order of magnitude, depending on the amount of frequency and phase noise in the DUT.
