<suffix>

Suffix

Qualifiers that follow a person’s name (for example, Sr., Jr., III, 3rd).

Remarks

Best Practice: The <suffix> element should be used for parts of people’s names, not for degrees, such as Ph.D. or DDS. The academic degrees are part of the information that is known about a contributor, not part of the name of the contributor, and should take the <degrees> element. Degree and certification information may be placed directly following the person’s name within the contributor information:
<contrib contrib-type="..." corresp="yes">
    <name>
      <surname>Smyth-Jones</surname>
      <given-names>George</given-names>
      <suffix>Sr.</suffix>
    </name>
    <degrees>PhD</degrees>
  </contrib>
