Internet Article Type

soma12
Online articles don't always fit into categories such as "magazine" or "newspaper". Ars Technica, for instance, is purely online. Their articles should be categorized as "Internet Article". Please add to zotero

    I've been looking at this problem for a style I'm designing (Bluebook), and I've concluded that adding a separate item type is probably not needed to cope with this category of material. A style can adapt the form of a citation depending on the field content. I punched in the details of an article I found on Ars Technica, calling it a "Magazine article", and here's what came back from my test-bench style code:
    Ryan Paul, A visual timeline of the Microsoft-Novell controversy, Ars Technica, Jan. 28, 2007, available at http://arstechnica.com/articles/columns/linux/linux-20070128.ars (last visited December 29, 2008).
    ... which is correct for this category of material within the Bluebook style.
