<article-title>

Article Title

Full title of an article.

Remarks

Usage: The <article-title> element is used in two contexts: as a part of the metadata concerning the article itself and inside bibliographic citations. The title is nearly always in the original language of publication, but a publisher or archive might choose to place all article titles in one language, such as English, and use the translated title element to hold the original title (<trans-title>).

In Metadata: In the article metadata, the article subtitle and title are identified with two different elements and tagged separately, using the <article-title> and <subtitle> elements.

In Citations: In bibliographic reference citations (<element-citation> and <mixed-citation>), this element contains the full title of a cited journal article. The subtitle cannot be preserved separately as this Tag Set identifies no cited-subtitle elements.

For references using either the <element-citation> or the <nlm-citation>, which do not permit untagged text, there are two choices:

For references using the <mixed-citation>, there are three choices:

Best Practice in Citations: Although this Tag Set cannot enforce either practice, retrieval performance will be enhanced if the subtitle for all cited material is consistently placed within the <article-title> element for journal articles and within the <source> element for book titles, proceedings titles, and other documents. When marked as either a <named-content> or left as untagged text, the subtitle is easy to lose to searching. It is also not always easy to identify, particularly with historical or foreign material, which part of a multipart title is the main title and which the subtitle.
