iso-8601-date

ISO-8601 Formatted Date

A machine-processable, ISO 8601 formatted date value (“YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss”) for a JATS date-specific element, whether the date be specified as text, an ISO date, a partial date, or as any other date format. If the date given in the content of the element is in a non-Gregorian calendar, this attribute will hold the Gregorian calendar equivalent of that date.

Remarks

The ISO date format (“YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss”) may be used, for example, to add a numeric value, such as “01” to a <month> element with a value of “January”. In addition, the hours, minutes, and seconds may be used to include a timestamp for a date, for example, when a publication date has both an embargo date and an embargo time.

Used on these Elements:

<access-date>, <conf-date>, <date>, <date-in-citation>, <year>
ValueMeaning
Text, numbers, or special charactersThe ISO 8601 standard date format (“YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss”) for the date given in the element, for example, “2012-03-15”.
