<ref>

Reference Item

One item in a bibliographic list.

Remarks

A <ref> is typically a citation describing a referenced work (see Tagging References). This Tag Set allows notes as well as citations in a bibliographic list, but best practice is to place notes in a <fn-group> or <notes> section and use <ref-list> only for bibliographic citations.

Example 3

This Tag Set allows notes (<note>) in addition to bibliographic citations in a reference list:
...
<ref id="c33">
<label>33.</label>
<note>
<p>While the samples appear homogeneous in terms of local variations in 
transition energy and PL intensity, the response to external electric fields 
is strongly inhomogeneous, which can most likely be attributed to local 
variations in the AlGaN back contact conductivity as well as inhomogeneities 
in the passivation process.</p>
</note>
</ref>
...
...
<ref id="c35">
<label>35.</label>
<note>
<p>The geometric optimization and electronic transport properties are 
all calculated by a developed <italic>ab-initio</italic> software package 
Atomistix ToolKit, which is based on the spin-polarized density-functional 
theory combined with the non-equilibrium Greens functions. ...</p>
