Journal Publishing Tag Library NISO JATS Draft Version 1.1d2

ref-type

Type of Cross-Reference

Type of element that is the target of the cross-reference (for example, “figure”, “author-note”, “bibliographic-reference”). The values may be used for type-specific processing or validation.

Remarks

The <xref> element may be used to reference anything that has an @id attribute. This single element takes the place of the many named types of references (such as figure references, table references, and footnote references) that are common in many journal tag sets. This attribute preserves the information from such tag sets concerning the type of element to which the cross-reference is pointing.
