抜粋記事 or 抄録 or 抜き刷り
Explanation:
Most noncomittal (or ordinary) choice is "mihonkiji". If you desire to be a bit classy, you would consider these. As you know so well, choice of writing (i.e. translating) style is not us translator's. It is always the taste of target audience (or that of translation agency's -- more likely). Choice that sound too uppity could be a risky business.
Well my personal opinion aside, let me be more precise. My choice would be 抜粋記事, which is in essence "excerpt".

Belatedly, let me add few more notes.
I usually avoid to resort to ¥"katakana¥", direct phonetic translation of the original, that is. But new computer jargon (not limited to this area of course) created almost daily basis, there is not enough time to digest them into Kanji concept. On top of that good linguists are few and far between nowadays. For this reason I pay efforts to stick to Kanji side if available.
Also, last two (shoroku) and (nukizuri) are a bit archaic and not suitable to internet environment.
