<contrib-group>

Contributor Group

Container element for one or more contributors and information about those contributors.

Remarks

Inside the element <article-meta>, the <contrib-group> element groups individual contributors to a document such as authors, researchers, or photographers.

Contributor groups may name primary authors, editors, sponsors, translators, illustrators, etc. The members of the group are contributors who worked individually, not as a group. The @content-type attribute should be used to name the type of contributor, “authors”, “editors”, “translators”, etc.

Related Elements

The element <contrib-group> is a metadata element. The <person-group> element performs a similar function of grouping individual contributors, such as authors and editors, within a bibliographic reference (<element-citation> or <mixed-citation>).

The <contrib-group> should not be confused with the element <collab>, in which individuals are not named as contributors because the contribution was made by the group as a whole, for example, a report which has a laboratory or department as the official author.
