<contrib>

Contributor

Container 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.

Anonymous. The name of a contributor that is being withheld or is not known may be recorded using the EMPTY element <anonymous>, which is expected cause text such an “Anonymous” or “anon.” to be generated for display or print.

Conversion Note: For users of the Elsevier Tag Sets, when the ranking or importance of authors has been marked as a note (for example, using <ranking>), the ranking information may be encoded in the <role> element. Thus, the Elsevier-tagged text:

<ranking><sup>*</sup></ranking>

would be converted to:

<role><sup>*</sup></role>
