source-id-type Source Identifier Type

Type of source identifier (for example, a DOI, ISSN, ISBN, or publisher’s identifier) for a <related-object>.

Usage/Remarks

Case in Attribute Values: Upper/lower/mixed case in attribute values for organizations and identifier types is likely to be variable and thus unreliable for search/discovery. If possible, JATS recommends a case-insensitive search for such values. For example, if a source identifier type is a DOI, many publishers use “doi” to keep all attribute values lower case, while others use “DOI” because that is the native language acronym.
OPTIONAL on element: <related-object>
Value Meaning
Text, numbers, or special characters Names/describes the type of document identifier named in the @source-id attribute for a <related-object> element. This attribute qualifies the @source-id attribute.
