A bibliographic description of a work (such as a journal article, book, or personal communication). Citations are either cited directly in the text of an article or listed in the bibliographic reference list at the end of the article and that list item is cited from within the text
Although in this DTD Suite, citations are allowed to float freely within a paragraph, most journals require that the full citation be listed in the bibliographic reference list <ref-list> and only a X(cross) Reference <xref> be inserted into the text at the place of reference.
Although the DTD does not enforce it, a citation to a journal article should be tagged with as many as possible of the following, so that PubMed Central, CrossRef, or other matching service can make the citation into a live link:
|
source |
The title of a journal, book, conference proceedings, etc. that is the source of the cited material. (Note: In PubMed Central processing, this is typically the MEDLINE abbreviation of the journal name.) |
|
article-title |
Title of the article |
|
volume |
Volume of the journal |
|
issue |
Issue of the journal |
|
fpage |
Page number on which the article starts |
|
name |
Name of an author or editor |
|
year |
Year of publication |
|
month |
Month of publication (if present) |
|
day |
Date of publication (if present) |
Conversion Note: In order to make citations into live links, as much of the author and date information as is available should be preserved, even if it not possible to tag all the element just named. The most important date tag is <year>, and it should always be tagged if possible, for example, <year>2003</year>. The <day> and <month> tags are used more rarely; they are provided because some of the citation matching services can use the month and day information if it is available.
