pub-type Type of Publication (deprecated)
The @pub-type (deprecated) attribute contains precombinations of the format/medium
of a document with one or more events from its lifecycle, for example,
“epub” for publication in an electronic format and
“ppub” for publication in print. This attribute is deprecated.
Usage/Remarks
The precombination of format, medium, and event in one @pub-type attribute is a holdover from previous versions of this Tag Set. In current JATS,
there are two attributes to describe the history dates and publication events of articles:
- The attribute @date-type records the type of event in the lifecycle, such as “accepted”, “published”, or “revised”.
- In addition, the attribute @publication-format records the type of format or media to which the event happened, such as “print”.
In previous versions of this Tag Set, these two types of information were combined,
so an attribute could say that an article was “ecorrected”, meaning that the article was in electronic form and that it was corrected. In this
Tag Set, the attribute @date-type would take the value “corrected”, and the @publication-format attribute would take the value “electronic” to convey the same information.
Using two attributes rather than @pub-type enables the expression of both the format/medium
and the lifecycle type of the publication instead of forcing the selection of one
or the other.
OPTIONAL on elements: <issn>, <pub-date>
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Text, numbers, or special characters | The type of print or electronic publication, for example, “epub” for electronic publication. |
| Restriction | @pub-type is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
Suggested usage
Historical Note: In this version of this Tag Set, the @publication-format attribute states the format/medium and the @date-type attribute names the lifecycle event. For previous versions of this Tag Set, information
the type of lifecycle date and format/media to which the event happened were combined
in this attribute. A content creator may choose to keep this information combined,
even in this Tag Set, and use the following values (which blend the type and format
and are therefore no longer recommended) for this attribute:
