accessed variable

Hi all,

Could someone tell me where data in the “accessed” variable comes from? I realize it’s a date, but what does it represent? An example of how Zotero uses it might put things in context.

Thanks,

Ron.

In my understanding you typically use it to indicate the date you accessed a
source that may change over time, e.g. a website. E.g.
http://wwwlib.murdoch.edu.au/find/citation/ieee.html#Electronic%20Documents%20Ref%20Listincludes
the following example citation for the IEEE style:
