Sample Citations for Publishing

hide the sidebar^⇜^◂▸

◇◆

This section contains samples of various types of citations tagged according to this Publishing Tag Set. Tagging citations is an editorial decision and an art, so these are not the only way the cited works could have been tagged. For many publishers, they will not even be Best practice, but they show one way and may help guide tagging use. Each sample that follows can be assumed to be inside a <ref>, which is inside a <ref-list>. The text will usually be shown twice, once tagged with the text-and-elements-style <mixed-citation> element and once with the element-style <element-citation> element.

Although JATS recommends rich citation tagging and encourages rich citation tagging, it does not require rich citation tagging. The first example is sparsely but usefully tagged. The second example contains the absolute minimal tagging, is valid JATS tagging, but is of far less use.
