SourceType.h header

enum class SourceType { Book, BookChapter, JournalArticle, MagazineArticle, NewspaperArticle, Website, Report, Thesis, ConferencePaper, Manuscript, Other }

The bibliographic kind of a Source – an axis on the Source content type that selects which fields are meaningful and how a citation is formatted (a book cites its publisher, a journal article its container and volume, a webpage its URL and access date). New kinds are additive. Serialized as a stable lowercase token; the tokens follow CSL (Citation Style Language) type names so import/export to CSL-JSON stays a straight mapping.

std::optional< SourceType > ew::core::sourceTypeFromToken(QStringView token)

Parses a source type from its serialization token; std::nullopt if unrecognized.

QString ew::core::sourceTypeLabel(SourceType type)

A human-readable label for type, for pickers and menus (e.g. "Journal Article").

QString ew::core::toToken(SourceType type)

Returns the stable serialization token for type (e.g. "article-journal").
