<copyright-year> Copyright Year

The year of copyright.

Usage/Remarks

Since the <copyright-statement> element is intended for display, the <copyright-year> contents may not be displayed (but will be available for searching). The <copyright-year> element need not be used, if having the year as part of the <copyright-statement> is sufficient. (See <copyright-statement>.)
NLM DTD Historical Note
This element (<copyright-year>) was significantly remodeled from previous versions of this Tag Set. The current NISO JATS values are backward compatible with all JATS versions and with the last NLM version NLM 3.0), but not with earlier NLM DTD versions. Specifically, in prior versions the <copyright-year> element was allowed outside the <permissions> container element (although this was not best practice).
Related Elements
There are three copyright elements which may be contained in the <permissions> grouping element:
  • <copyright-statement>, which is the textual statement of the copyright intended for print and display (The full statement usually contains the copyright holder’s name and the year among other information.);
  • <copyright-year>, a metadata element that names just the copyright year (This is intended for metadata searching and aggregation and is typically not displayed. This element should match the year content of the copyright statement, but need not be an exact duplicate.); and
  • <copyright-holder>, also a metadata element that is typically not displayed. This element should match the content of the copyright statement, but need not be an exact duplicate.
