<article-title> Article Title

Full title of a cited article.

Usage/Remarks

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 the <element-citation>, which does not permit untagged text, there are two choices:
For references using the <mixed-citation>, there are two choices:
  • The subtitle may be included with the title in the <article-title> element (or the <source> element for book titles, proceedings titles, and other titles), or
  • The subtitle may be left as untagged characters within the text of the reference.

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 multi-part title is the main title and which the subtitle.
