Upgrade StorageHarvard Business Review (HBR): magazine or journal?
Harvard Business Review (HBR) is a general management magazine founded in 1922.
Its articles are devoid of footnotes/references, don't have a DOI, and are primarly addressed to managers and other business practitioners.
HBR has full-color pages, fancy graphics and a lot of ads.
Anyway, many important articles in the field of management are just HBR pieces, written by top scholars who also regularly contribute to proper academic journals (Michael E. Porter, Henry Mintzberg, Clayton M. Christensen, etc.).
If you take a typical article in a peer-reviewed management journal, it's likely you will find a few references to HBR articles.
Here is a classic HBR article:
Title: How competitive forces shape strategy
Author: Porter, Michael E.
Publication: Harvard Business Review
Volume: 57
Issue: 2
Date: March-April 1979
Pages: 137-145
URL: https://hbr.org/1979/03/how-competitive-forces-shape-strategy
In fact, volume and issue are frequently omitted in citations.
That said, here are my questions:
1. What is the proper way to add HBR articles to Zotero? "Magazine Article" or "Journal Article"?
2. Is it possible that HBR articles will have a DOI in the future? (In Zotero the "Magazine Article" item type don't have a DOI field).
Thanks.

DOI: 10.12345/6789in the Extra field -- citation styles will use that information.Anyway I agree with you in citing HBR as journal. It's not peer-reviewed but it has even an impact factor (very low indeed).
In the field of management there are many other magazine/journal hybrids, generally published by business schools or consulting firms: MIT Sloan Management Review, McKinsey Quarterly, strategy+business...
It would be desirable if we had a clear and objective criterion to distinguish between a (trade) magazine and a journal.
