Section-like container element for one or more notes that are not part of the narrative flow (for example, note added in proof, dedication).
Such notes are typically material outside the regular technical content of the document, extra material added by a contributor or by the publisher during or after the regular text has been processed, a note by the editor, or a note added after print publication.
There is no predefined list of types for the @notes-type attribute, but values publishers have used include “ added-in-proof ”, “ dedication ”, “ conflict-of-interest ”, “ death-notice ”, “ editor-note ”, “ added-post-print ”, “ added-post-electronic-publication ”, and “ translator-note ”.
A typical end-of-document note is a “Note in Proof”. A Note in Proof contains late-breaking news items or other material produced while the document was being typeset or was otherwise in production, that therefore happened too late to be included in the text of the work. This is typically NOT peer-reviewed content, and citations to other material within such content are usually integrated into the text or put inside the last paragraph, not listed separately in a bibliographic reference list <ref-list>.
The possibility of prepublication online as well as slightly differing content in the online versus print version of the same work has led to an increase in notes that are “only for the print” or “only for web” versions. The @specific-use attribute may be used to mark a note as belonging to only a specific format, such as “ print-only ”.

The study examined in this article was neither blinded nor
placebo-controlled. More recent studies suggest that
traditional medications when compared with placebos do
decrease symptoms of this condition. Further research is
needed to ascertain the efficacy of such medications;
until research is conducted, traditional medications may
be an effectual treatment.</p>
