<contrib>

Contributor

Definition

Wrapper element to contain the information (such as name and affiliation) about a single contributor to an article, for example, one author

Remarks

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>
