Online sources<br />

For exclusively online material (such as websites) 54 use the @online entry<br />

type.<br />

title The title of the piece.<br />

journaltitle The equivalent to the title of a journal, for instance<br />

the title of the website or blog.<br />

author The author or authors of the piece.<br />

date The date of the piece (assuming it is available).<br />

url The url address.<br />

urldate The date on which you last accessed that url.<br />

@online{cole09,<br />

}<br />

title = {Virtual Friend Fires Employee},<br />

journaltitle = {Naked Law},<br />

date = {2009-05-01},<br />

url = {http://www.nakedlaw.com/2009/05/index.html},<br />

urldate = {2009-11-09},<br />

author = {Cole, Sarah},<br />

\cite{cole09} Sarah Cole, ‘Virtual Friend Fires Employee’ (Naked<br />

Law, 1 May 2009) 〈http://www.nakedlaw.com/2009/05/<br />

index.html〉 accessed 9 November 2009<br />

For electronic journals, use instead the @article entry type, giving in addition<br />

to the regular information the url and urldate. Since <strong>oscola</strong> asks<br />

you to cite, as far as possible, in the style adopted by the journal, you may<br />

sometimes need to be ‘creative’ in the way you use fields to get the citation<br />

correct. For instance, while example 129 works out perfectly using conventional<br />

fields, the particular preferences of the Duke Law and Technology Review<br />

(for a date without any brackets, and an issue number with leading zeros)<br />

could only be met by including this information in the journaltitle.<br />

@article{greenleaf10,<br />

}<br />

author = {Greenleaf, Graham},<br />

title = {The Global Development of Free Access<br />

date = {2010},<br />

to Legal Information},<br />

url = {http://ejlt.org/article/view/17},<br />

urldate = {2010-07-10},<br />

journaltitle = {EJLT},<br />

volume = {1},<br />

issue = {1},<br />
