Sans-serif or serif for online typography?

Article Abstract:

Several research show that serif type is more preferred by readers as style for texts because serif makes the recognition of individual letters and words easier and it also expresses more personality. On the other hand, sans-serif designs have limited expressiveness and the uniform stroke in individual letter make them appear very similar with each other. However, in online typography, sans-serif is more appropriate because its plain features project better in coarse video screen.
