<copyright-statement> Copyright Statement
Copyright notice or statement, suitable for printing or display.
Usage/Remarks
The <copyright-statement> element is used in two contexts: inside the metadata of an article or sub-article
and inside the specific metadata for a block object such as a section, figure, or
table.
When used in the article or sub-article metadata, the <copyright-statement> refers to the entire document.
When the <copyright-statement> is attached
to an object such as a figure, for example, it records the ownership of the intellectual
property of the figure. The copyright for the figure need not be the same as the copyright
for the entire article. If the figure was previously published, that information should
be described using the <attrib> element, which is a container element for information concerning the origin of a
figure, extract, display quote, poetry, or similar element to which it is attached.
The element <attrib> can record where the object came from, who said it, who created it, etc.
Tagging Copyright Material
The copyright year and copyright holder are usually identified within the copyright statement, as this statement is expected to be displayed. The year
may also be repeated in the element <copyright-year> and the copyright organization also be repeated in the element <copyright-holder>, for search and discovery purposes. Since <copyright-holder> is used as metadata not intended for display, that element does not include the face
markup elements.
Multiple Copyright Statements
The
copyright statement is allowed to repeat (within the <permissions> element inside the <article-meta> element), to allow an organization to tag information such as the following:
- Several equivalent copyright statements, each in a different language.
- Both a historical copyright statement and the current owner’s copyright.
- The copyright statements for different countries, even if they are all in the same language.
Historical Note
In this Tag Set, the <copyright-holder>, <copyright-statement>, and <copyright-year> elements may be used only within the container element <permissions>. The current NISO JATS values are backward compatible
with the last NLM version, but not with earlier versions. Specifically, in prior versions
the <copyright-statement> element was allowed outside the <permissions> container element (although this was not best practice).
