<part-title> Part Title in a Citation

Title of a portion of a larger resource (for example, a chapter in a book, module in a course, episode of a podcast or television series) described in a bibliographic reference.

Usage/Remarks

Within a bibliographic reference (<mixed-citation> or <element-citation> and similar elements), the <part-title> is the title of a portion, part, or item in a larger resource, a title at a lower hierarchical level than the whole.
For example:
  • Books — For book citations, the <source> is the name of the book, and the title of a subsection of the book (such as a chapter, module, lesson, part, or other-named book division) is tagged as:
       <elem.tag.ref elem.ref="elem-part-title" autolink="no"/>
  • Episodic — Citing a specific episode or similar of a podcast, streaming show, radio broadcast, cable show, television news, etc. would need both a <source> (name of the show, podcast, etc.) and a <part-title> to name the episode cited.
       <part-title>The Beetle Whisperer</part-title>.
       <source>All Thing Considered)</source>.
  • A video within a journal — If the citation type is “video”, the journal name would be the <source>, and the title of the video would be tagged as a <part-title>.
When Not to Use <part-title>
  • Journal Articles — Citations to journal articles are handled differently. The title of the journal in which the article is published is tagged as <source>, and the article being cited is tagged as <article-title> (not as <part-title>).
  • Data Citations — Citations to data and datasets are handled differently. The title of a data source being cited is tagged as <source>, and all dataset titles at any hierarchical level are tagged as <data-title> (not as <part-title>).
Chapter Title Historical Note
Citations to book chapters were handled differently in earlier versions of JATS. The title of a book being cited has always been tagged as <source>. Today, all the major subsections of the book (such as chapters, modules, lessons, parts) should be tagged as <part-title> elements. Prior to JATS version 1.3, book parts were tagged using the <chapter-title> element, which is now deprecated.
