Full title of a cited article.
Usage: The <article-title> element is part of bibliographic reference metadata inside bibliographic citations (<element-citation> and <mixed-citation>), where it contains the full title of a cited journal article.
The title is nearly always in the original language of publication, but a publisher or archive might choose to place all article titles in one language, such as English, and use the translated title element to hold the original title (<trans-title>).
Subtitle: Within a bibliographic reference citation, the subtitle cannot be preserved separately as this Tag Set identifies no cited-subtitle elements.
For references using either the <element-citation>, which does not permit untagged text, there are two choices:
For references using the <mixed-citation>, there are two choices:
Best Practice in Citations: Although this Tag Set cannot enforce either practice, retrieval performance will be enhanced if the subtitle for all cited material is consistently placed within the <article-title> element for journal articles and within the <source> element for book titles, proceedings titles, and other documents. When marked as either a <named-content> or left as untagged text, the subtitle is easy to lose to searching. It is also not always easy to identify, particularly with historical or foreign material, which part of a multipart title is the main title and which the subtitle.
