<subtitle>

Article Subtitle

Definition

The subordinate name of a journal component such as an article

Remarks

In the article metadata, the article subtitle and title are two different elements and should be tagged separately, using the <article-title> and <subtitle> elements.

Within a bibliographic reference citation, the subtitle cannot be preserved separately. For citations using <citation>, it is possible to place the subtitle with the title in the <article-title> element (or the <source> element for book titles, proceedings titles, and other titles) or to leave it as untagged data characters within the text of the reference. For references using <nlm-citation>, the subtitle must be included with the title, since that reference model does not permit untagged text. Although this DTD cannot enforce either practice when using <citation>, retrieval performance will be enhanced if the subtitle is consistently placed in the <article-title> element (or the <source> element for book titles, proceedings titles, and other titles) for all cited material, so this is considered best practice.

Related Elements

There are two elements concerned with the title of an article, contained within the wrapper element <title-group> in the article metadata. The <article-title> is the full title of the article. The <subtitle> is a subordinate or auxiliary title that adds information to the full title or modifies the full title.
