Container element for the metadata concerning one product (for example, a book, software package, website, or hardware component) discussed in an article.
Related Essay: One major use for this element is to hold the metadata about a product that is being reviewed. For a discussion on the use of <product> in Reviews, see Tagging Book or Product Reviews.
Best Practice: This element should be used when the value of the @article-type attribute on the element <article> is “book-review”or “product-review”.
A review of a book, journal, website, etc., should include as much information about the item being reviewed as is practical, for example, the running time of a film or the number of pages in a book (both of which would be tagged as <size>). See the tagged example below for more element uses.
Historical Note: This element (<product>) was significantly remodeled for NLM 3.0. The current NISO JATS values are backwards compatible with NLM 3.0 but not with earlier versions. Specifically, in prior versions the <product> element was allowed to contain the <page-count> element, now replaced by the <size> element.
