How to cite a newspaper article with journal name and date and url for informs journal

Question

I want to cite a newspaper article with the informs journal template.

Based on the guidance example, the reference should consist of: author (year) + title + journal name (date) + URL. Here is an example:

The bibstyle for my draft is based on informs template at head:

\usepackage{natbib}

at end I use

\bibliographystyle{informs2014}
\bibliography{msom.bib}

First, I tried @article, and here is my bib:

@article{MIT2013,
author = {Stauffer, N},
title = {Incentives for green technology adoption: Getting 
government subsidies right},
year = {2013},
journal = {Energy Future},
date = {Dec 16},
url = {https://energy.mit.edu/news/incentives-for-green- 
technology-adoption-getting-government-subsidies-right}
}

This is my compile result:

It did not show the date and there is a big width between words

As for using @misc, here is my bib:

@misc{MIT2013,
author = {Stauffer, N},
title = {Incentives for green technology adoption: Getting 
government subsidies right},
year = {2013},
journal = {Energy Future},
date = {Dec 16},
howpublished = "\url{https://energy.mit.edu/news/incentives-for- 
green-technology-adoption-getting-government-subsidies-right}"
}

The compiled result is:

It did not show the journal name and date also there is a big gap between words.
So, How can to cite a newspaper article with journal name and date correctly.

Answer 1

AFAICT, the piece you're looking to cite is neither a newspaper article nor a piece published in a scholarly journal. Instead, it's "just" a piece published on a website. Hence, using the @article entry type is inappropriate; moreover, the screenshot template you posted for pieces published in newspapers would appear to be of little relevance for the publication at hand. The month and day-of-month information would also be of little practical relevance for a web-published occasional piece. (Note also that few if any bibtex bibliography styles recognize a field named date. The known field names are year and month; however, the informs2014 bib style doesn't do much (anything??) with the month field.)

Oh, and by all means load the xurl package, to avoid the "big width between words" issue you've encountered.

Putting all these thoughts together, one gets the following output:

\documentclass{article} % or some other suitable document class
\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{msom.bib}
@misc{MIT2013,
author       = {Stauffer, Nancy W.},
title        = {Incentives for green technology adoption: 
                Getting government subsidies right},
year         = {2013},
howpublished = {MIT Energy Initiative},
url          = {https://energy.mit.edu/news/incentives-for-green- 
technology-adoption-getting-government-subsidies-right}
}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{informs2014}
\usepackage{xurl} % <-- new

\begin{document}
\nocite{MIT2013}
\bibliography{msom}
\end{document}
