ref-type Type of Cross-Reference
Type of element that is the target of the cross-reference (for example: a Figure (“fig”), an Author Note
(“author-notes”), or a Bibliographic Reference
(“bibr”)). The values may be used, for example, for type-specific processing or validation.
Usage/Remarks
The <xref> element may be used to reference anything that has an @id attribute. This single element takes the place of the many named types of references
(such as figure references, table references, and footnote references) that are common
in many journal tag sets. This attribute can preserve the information from such
tag sets concerning the type of element to which the cross-reference is pointing.
OPTIONAL on element: <xref>
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
Text, numbers, or special characters | The type of element to which the reference points, for example, “fig” to indicate that the reference points to a figure (<fig>). |
Restriction | @ref-type is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
Suggested usage
This attribute is designed to accept any text as its value, since nearly any element
in an XML article may be the target of a link. Typical values for this attribute include:
aff
|
Affiliation
|
---|---|
app
|
Appendix
|
author-note
|
Author notes
|
award
|
Points to the description of or identifier for a grant or award (<award-id>), also, possibly to an entire awards group (<award-group>)
|
bibr
|
Bibliographic reference (typically to a <ref> element, but it may point to a <element-citation> or <mixed-citation> if there are multiple citations inside the <ref> element)
|
bio
|
Biography (typically of a contributor)
|
boxed-text
|
Textbox or sidebar
|
chem
|
Chemical structure (to a <chem-struct> or <chem-struct-wrap> element)
|
collab
|

|
contrib
|
Contributor
|
corresp
|
Corresponding author
|
custom
|
The value “custom” is used in versions of JATS that have a static list of values for the @ref-type attribute. To add a value to such a list, the cross reference is given the type
“custom” and a separate @custom-type attribute provides the typing value. There is no need for this mechanism in Archiving,
since there are no restrictions on the value of @ref-type, but “custom” and @custom-type have both been included in Archiving so that documents valid to a stricter version
of the JATS Tag Set will also be valid to Archiving.
