<date-in-citation>

Date within a Citation

Non-publication date used within a bibliographic reference, for example, an access-date or a time-stamp.

Remarks

A <date-in-citation> element should not be used to record the publication date; instead use the specific date elements such as <year> and <month> or the combination publishing date element <date>. The <date-in-citation> element should be used to record non-publication dates such as access dates, copyright dates, patent application dates, or time stamps indicating the exact time the work was published for a continuously or frequently updated source.

Related Elements

Within citations (<element-citation> and <mixed-citation>), the elements <year>, <date>, <day>, <month>, and <season> may all be used to describe the date a cited resource was published. Other dates inside a citation, such as a copyright date, the date on which the author accessed the resource, or a withdrawal date, should be tagged using <date-in-citation> with the @content-type attribute used to name the type of date (copyright, access-date, time-stamp, etc.).
