Journal Archiving and Interchange Tag Library NISO JATS Draft Version 1.1d2

date-type

Type of Date

Event in the lifecycle of an article that this date is marking (for example, the date the manuscript was received or accepted, the date the electronic preprint was published, or the date of any revision or retraction).

Usage

In this version of this Tag Set, there are two attributes that can be used to describe history dates and publication dates of articles. The @date-type attribute records the type of event in the lifecycle, such as “accepted”, “published”, or “revised” dates. In addition, the @publication-format attribute records the type of format or media, for example, “print”, to which the event happened. In previous versions of this Tag Set, the two types of information were combined, so an attribute could say that an article was “ecorrected”, meaning that the article was in electronic form and that it was corrected. In this Tag Set, the attribute @date-type would take the value “corrected” and the @publication-format attribute would take the value “electronic” to convey the same information.

With these Elements

<date>
<pub-date>
Value Meaning
Text, numbers, or special characters Typically a word or phrase that names or describes the purpose of a date, for example, “received” for the date a manuscript was received or “corrected” for the date a document was corrected.
Restriction: @date-type is an optional attribute; there is no default.

Suggested usage

Although designed to accept any text as its value, the following are suggested date types:

accepted
The date a document, typically a manuscript, was accepted

corrected
The date an article was corrected

pub
The publication date (electronic or print)

preprint

rev-recd
