The full title of a journal article or other journal component such as a book review
The <article-title> element is used in two contexts: as a part of the metadata concerning the article itself and as part of bibliographic reference metadata inside bibliographic citations (<citation> and <nlm-citation>).
The title is nearly always in the original language of publication, but a publisher or archive might choose to place all article titles in one language, such as English, and use the translated title element to hold the original title (Translated Title <trans-title>).
In the article metadata, the article subtitle and title are two different elements and should be tagged separately, using both the <article-title> and <subtitle> elements. Within a bibliographic reference citation, the subtitle cannot be preserved separately. Some Tag Sets place it within the title; some leave it as untagged text, numbers, or special characters within the text of the <citation>. Although this Suite cannot enforce either form, retrieval performance will be enhanced if the subtitle is placed into the <article-title> element in cited material.
For extensive examples of formatted <nlm-citation>s including use of <article-title>s in <nlm-citation>s, see: Sample PubMed Central Citations. To see tagged versions of these examples, see: Sample PubMed Central Citations - XML Tagged.
