<person-group> Person Group for a Cited Publication

Container element for one or more contributors in a bibliographic reference.

Usage/Remarks

The container can be used to group all the contributors of a particular type (for example, authors, editors, directors, translators) that are named in a reference.

CRediT Best Practice

The @person-group-type attribute was designed to name the type of people in the group and was also designed to accept any text as its value. However, if the @person-group-type value would be taken from a controlled vocabulary, such as CRediT, Best Practice is not to name the role using @person-group-type. Best Practice (when possible) is to tag the CRediT taxonomy of contributor roles by using the <role> element inside <person-group>. The major advantage of using <role> is the ability to tie the content of the role to the formal vocabulary using the four BITS vocabulary attributes.
Usage
This element may be used in bibliographic references (<element-citation> and <mixed-citation>).
This element may also include any punctuation and spacing that is between the names, even when this element is used within an <element-citation>. Therefore, within the context of an element-only <element-citation>, care should be taken not to accidentally allow punctuation and spaces, since an XML parser will not view this as an error.
