<part-title> Part Title in a Citation

Title of a portion of a larger resource (for example, a chapter in a book, module in a course, episode of a podcast or television series) described in a bibliographic reference.

Usage/Remarks

Within a bibliographic reference (<mixed-citation> or <element-citation> and similar elements), the <part-title> is the title of a portion, part, or item in a larger resource, a title at a lower hierarchical level than the whole.
For example:
  • Books — For book citations, the <source> is the name of the book, and the title of a subsection of the book (such as a chapter, module, lesson, part, or other-named book division) is tagged as <part-title>:
       <part-title>Loomings</part-title>.
       <source>Moby Dick</source>.
  • Episodic — Citing a specific episode or similar of a podcast, streaming show, radio broadcast, cable show, television news, etc. would need both a <source> (name of the show, podcast, etc.) and a <part-title> to name the episode cited.
       <part-title>The Beetle Whisperer</part-title>.
       <source>All Thing Considered</source>.
  • A video within a journal — If the citation type is “video”, the journal name would be the <source>, and the title of the video would be tagged as a <part-title>.
When Not to Use <part-title>
  • Journal Articles — Citations to journal articles are handled differently than book chapters or other “parts” of a larger whole. The article being cited is tagged as an <article-title> (not as a <part-title>), and the title of the journal in which the article is published is tagged as the <source>.
  • Data Citations — Citations to data and datasets are also handled differently. The title of a data source being cited is tagged as <source>, and all dataset titles at any hierarchical level are tagged as <data-title> (not as <part-title>). There can be many layers of <data-title>s.
Chapter Title Historical Note
Citations to book chapters were handled differently in earlier versions of JATS. Currently, all the major subsections of the book (such as chapters, modules, lessons, parts) should be tagged as <part-title> elements. Prior to JATS version 1.3, book parts were tagged using the <chapter-title> element, which is now deprecated. The title of a book being cited is still, and has always been, tagged as <source>.
