Journal Archiving and Interchange DTD Tag Library version 2.2

Front Matter

Definition

The metadata for an article, such as the name and issue of the journal in which the article appears and the author(s) of the article

Remarks

In some journal DTDs, this information is called the “header information” or “journal header”. Such a header usually includes the metadata concerning the journal itself (in this Suite tagged as <journal-meta>), as well as metadata concerning the issue of the journal and the individual article (which in this Suite are both found in the element <article-meta>).

Related Elements

A journal article <article> may be divided into four (more typically, three) parts:

  1. the Front Matter (the article metadata or header information, which contains both journal and article metadata);
  2. the Body of the Article (textual and graphical content of the article);
  3. any Back Matter (ancillary information such as a glossary, reference list, or appendix); and
  4. either a series of Response elements (A response is a commentary on the article itself.) or a series of Sub-article elements (Sub-articles are smaller articles completely contained within the article.).
