<contrib>

Contributor

Container element for information about a single author, editor, or other contributor.

Remarks

Types of Contributors. The element <contrib> can be used for many roles besides authors, for example, editors, special issue editors, photographers, illustrators, directors, etc. The @contrib-type attribute placed on the <contrib> element, or the <role> element used within the <contrib> element, may be used to describe the contribution.

Best Practice: Use <xref> to point to the institution (<aff>), the corresponding information (<corresp>), or any author footnotes in the author note group.

Anonymous: The name of a contributor that is being withheld or is not known may be recorded using the EMPTY element <anonymous>, which is expected to cause text such an “Anonymous” or “anon.” to be generated for display or print.

Elsevier Conversion Note: For users of the Elsevier Tag Sets, when the ranking or importance of authors has been marked as a note (for example, using <ranking>), the ranking information may be encoded in the <role> element. Thus, the Elsevier-tagged text:

  <ranking><sup>*</sup></ranking>

would be converted to: 

  <role><sup>*</sup></role>
