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).
In this Tag Set, this attribute is likely to be used very rarely. It can only be used on a <date> element when that element is used in a citation. Since <date>s in citations are used to mark the primary publication date, the usual value is likely to be “date-type="pub-date"”.
