<article-title>
Article Title
Full title of an article.
Remarks
Usage: The <article-title> element is used in two contexts: as a part of the metadata
concerning the article itself and as 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 may 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: In the article metadata (<article-meta>), the article subtitle and title are identified with two different elements and tagged separately, using the <article-title> and <subtitle> elements. Within a bibliographic reference citation, the subtitle cannot be preserved
separately as this Tag Set identifies no cited-subtitle elements.
For references using either the <element-citation> or the <nlm-citation>, which do not permit untagged
text, 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 tagged as <named-content> with a @content-type “subtitle”.
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 multipart title is the main title and which the subtitle.
