Type of publication identifier or the organization or system that defined the identifier.

Usage

This attribute is used in several contexts:
  • as part of the article metadata defined inside the element <article-meta> (for example, on the <article-id> element, which holds an identifier for the entire article, or the <product> element);
  • inside a bibliographic citation element such as <mixed-citation> or <element-citation> (for example, on the <pub-id> element, which identifies a publication cited in a bibliographic reference list);
  • on an object identifier element (<object-id>), which can act as an identifier for any number of different elements;
  • on a related article or other related object (for example, on the element <related-object>); and
  • on an issue or volume identifier (for example, on the <issue-id> element, which identifies an issue).

Used on these Elements:

Differentiate <article-id>s in the article metadata:
    ...
<article-meta>
<article-id pub-id-type="publisher-id">1037</article-id>
<article-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1128/JCM.39.7.2634-2636.2001</article-id>
<article-id pub-id-type="pmid">11427581</article-id>
...</article-meta>
...   

Example 2

Inside a citation for a print journal article, to name the identifier as a DOI:
    ...
<element-citation publication-type="journal" publication-format="print">...
<fpage>519</fpage>
<lpage>617</lpage>
<pub-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1542/peds.2004-1441</pub-id>
</element-citation>
