<access-date> Access Date for Cited Work (deprecated)

Date on which cited material was examined, particularly useful for citing resources such as databases that may use a time signature to identify different versions. This element is deprecated.

Usage/Remarks

The <access-date> element is deprecated and has been replaced by the <date-in-citation> element with a @content-type attribute value “access-date” that records the date on which the cited work was examined.
Some online resources are changing so quickly that a citation to the resource is not complete without the date on which the cited resource was examined, since a day before or a day later, the relevant material might be different. The <date-in-citation> element should be used to record such information inside <mixed-citation> and <element-citation> elements.
This element is an artifact, now used only within the <nlm-citation> element, which is deprecated. Use of this element is therefore also deprecated. In all other cases, this element has been retained only for backward compatibility.
