<person-group> Person Group for a Cited Publication
Container element for one or more contributors in a bibliographic reference.
Usage/Remarks
The <person-group> container is typically used to group all the contributors of a particular type (for
example, authors, editors, illustrators, data curators, translators) that are named
in a reference.
CRediT Best Practice
The @person-group-type attribute was designed to name the type of people in the group and accepts any text
as its value. The attribute is typically used as a grouping mechanism: these people
are “authors”, these people are “editors”, etc.
However, when the @person-group-type value is taken from a controlled vocabulary, Best Practice is to name the role of
the group using the <role> element rather than the @person-group-type attribute. For example, the ANSI/NISO Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT) terms should
be described using the <role> element inside <person-group>. Then the links to the CRediT taxonomy can be tied to the <role> using the four JATS vocabulary attributes, and the content of the role can be set
to any display value.
Punctuation in Citations (a warning)
This element may be used in bibliographic references (<element-citation> and <mixed-citation>).
This element may also include any punctuation and spacing that is between the names,
even when this element is used within an <element-citation>. Therefore, within the context of an element-only <element-citation>, care should be taken not to accidentally allow punctuation and spaces, since an
XML parser will not view this as an error.
