<element-citation>
Element Citation
Bibliographic description of a work. Includes bibliographic reference elements only.
Does not include untagged text, spacing, or punctuation.
Remarks
This element is composed of bibliographic descriptive elements (such as <article-title> and <fpage>) in any order, repeated as needed, with no untagged text and all the
punctuation and spacing between elements removed.
This element is intended for capturing a publisher’s specific element order;
therefore, it does not enforce a particular element order on its own.

Best Practice for Journals: Although this Tag Set does not enforce it, best practice is to tag as many of the following elements as possible within a citation (<element-citation> or <mixed-citation>) to a journal article, so that PubMed Central, CrossRef, or other matching service can make the citation into a live link.
Other elements inside a citation may also be tagged if desired.
source | The title of the journal in which the cited article was published. (For journal titles, publishers and archives typically establish authority lists; for example, in PubMed Central processing, the journal title source is usually the NLM title abbreviation of the journal name <source>Physiol Rev</source>.) |
|---|---|
article-title | Title of the article (Use the <source> element for titles of books, reports, conference proceedings, etc.) |
volume | Number of the applicable volume of the journal |
issue | Issue number of the applicable issue |
fpage | Page number on which the article starts |
surname | Surname (familial name) of an author or editor (This element is used inside a <name> element or <string-name> element which is repeated when multiple authors must be listed.) |
year | The year of publication |
month | The month of publication (if present) |
day | The day of month of publication (if present) |
Best Practice for Books: Although this Tag Set does not enforce it, best practice is to tag as many of the following elements as possible within a citation (<element-citation> or <mixed-citation>) to a book, so that PubMed Central, CrossRef, or other matching service can make the citation into a live link.
Other elements inside a citation may also be tagged if desired.
source | This is the title of the book: <source>Moby Dick</source>. |
|---|---|
edition | Edition number of the work |
size | Number of pages or filesize |
surname | Surname (familial name) of an author or editor (This element is used inside a <name> element or <string-name> element which is repeated when multiple authors must be listed.) |
year | The year of publication |
publisher | Name of the publisher (if present) |
Linking Best Practice: In order to make citations
into live links, as much of the author and date information as is available should be
preserved, even if it not possible to tag all the elements just named. The most important
date tag is <year>, and it should always be
tagged if possible, for example, <year>2008</year>. The
<day> and <month> tags are used more rarely; they are provided because some of the citation
matching services can use the month and day information if it is available.
Information Typing Best Practice: The @publication-type attribute should normally be used to
distinguish between journal articles, books, reviews, personal communications, and so
on.
