ASA style won't include "Unpublished Manuscript"

markigra · January 27, 2023

The American Sociological Association style guide for an unpublished manuscript calls for the text "Unpublished Manuscript" https://library.ship.edu/c.php?g=694308&p=4923436 , but I can't figure out how to get it in the formatted version.

I believe the Type (genre) field should be used there. I believe Chicago does it correctly by inserting genre in the description.

Just submitted a PR to include formatting for the item type "manuscript". Bit odd an example that they're using a dissertation as an "unpublished manuscript" when they have Thesis/Dissertation explained, but well...

Can you try this?
