publication-type
Type of Referenced Publication
Category of publication being cited (for example, “book”,
“letter”,
“review”,
“journal”,
“patent”,
“report”,
“standard”,
“data”,
“working-paper”).
Remarks
The @publication-type, @publisher-type, and @publication-format attributes replace the @citation-type attribute of prior versions, which provided no clear way to distinguish these different notions.
