Wrapper element to contain the information about a single contributor to an article, for example, an author or an editor
Authoring and Conversion Note: Use <xref> to point to the institution (Affiliation <aff>), the corresponding information (Correspondence Information <corresp>), or any author footnotes in the author note group.
Conversion Note: When the ranking or importance of authors is marked as a note (for example, the ranking element in the Elsevier DTD), the ranking information should be encoded in the Role or Function Title of Contributor element. Thus, the Elsevier-tagged text:
<ranking><sup>*</sup></ranking>
would be converted to:
<role><sup>*</sup></role>
