Back Matter

Material published with an article but following the narrative flow.

Remarks

Usage: Back matter typically contains supporting material such as an appendix, acknowledgment, glossary, or bibliographic reference list.
The <sec> element can be used within the <back> to contain material that has not been explicitly named as one of the other back matter components, for example, a table that is not named explicitly as an appendix or a glossary.

Related Elements

A journal article <article> may be divided into several components:
  1. the <front> (the metadata or header information, which contains both journal metadata [<journal-meta>] and article metadata [<article-meta>]);
  2. any <back> (any ancillary information such as a glossary, reference list, or appendix);
  3. a <floats-group> (single container element some publishers and archives use to hold all floating elements such as figures and tables that are referenced in the article body or back matter); and
  4. either a series of <response> elements or a series of <sub-article> elements. (A <response> is a commentary on the article itself, such as a summation by an editor, an answer to a letter-article, or words from the author responding to peer-review comments. Sub-articles are articles such as news pieces, abstracts, or committee reports that are completely contained within a main article.)
