<page-range> Page Ranges

Text describing discontinuous pagination (for example, 8-11, 14-19, 40).

Usage/Remarks

The discontinuous pages range “8-11, 14-19, 40” would be read as “a document begins on page 8, runs through 11, skips to pages 14 through 19, and concludes on page 40”.
The <page-range> element only supplements other page elements and DOES NOT replace <fpage> and <lpage>. The <fpage> element and the <lpage> element (where available) should always be tagged; infrastructures for linking references across publishers (such as that of CrossRef) use first and last page information for a document as part of their identification process. Accordingly, material with a page range should be tagged: 
...
<fpage>8</fpage>
<lpage>40</lpage>
<page-range>8-11, 14-19, 40</page-range>
...
Related Elements
A number of elements in the Suite relate to page numbers:
  • <fpage> names the page number on which a work begins;
  • <lpage> names the page number on which a work ends (which should be the same page number or a number larger than the starting page number);
  • <elocation-id> replaces the start and end page elements just described for electronic-only publications;
  • <page-range> records discontinuous page ranges; and
  • <book-page-count> holds the total page count, if the publisher has provided one. Typically this element records what the publisher said and makes no validity claim. The element <book-page-count> should be used only in metadata. The citation elements (<element-citation> or <mixed-citation>) use the element <size> to tag the total page count of a cited work.
Best Practice: The <page-range> is intended to record supplementary information and should not be used in the place of the <fpage> and <lpage> elements, which are typically needed for citation matching. The <page-range> element is merely a text string, containing such material as “8-11, 14-19, 40”, which would mean that the document began on page 8, ran through 11, skipped to page 14, ran through 19, and concluded on page 40.
