<page-range>

Page Ranges

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

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:

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.
