<suffix>

Suffix

Qualifiers that follow a person’s name, for example, “Sr.”, “Jr.”, “III”, “3rd”, etc.

Remarks

The <suffix> element should be used for parts of people’s names, not for degrees, such as Ph.D. or DDS. The academic degrees are part of the information that is known about a contributor, not part of the name of the contributor, and should take the <degrees> element. Degree and certification information may be placed directly following the person’s name within the contributor information:

<contributor ...>
<name>
<surname>Smyth-Jones</surname>
<given-names>George</given-names>
<suffix>Sr.</suffix>
</name>
<degrees>PhD</degrees>
</contributor>

Or the <degrees> may be included later within the <contrib> element, interspersed with other types of contributor information such as <address>, <aff>, <bio>, and <email>.
