The date(s) on which the conference was held
Conference dates in journal headers are traditionally stored in one of two forms: as a single date (“December 2001”), or as the first day and last day of the conference. Either form can be stored in this element as shown below:
<conf-date>December 2001</conf-date>
or
<conf-date>August 4, 2002 - August 9, 2002</conf-date>
The element <conf-date> may be used in bibliographic references (<citation> and <nlm-citation>). For extensive examples of formatted <nlm-citation>s including use of <conf-date>s in <nlm-citation>s, see: Sample PubMed Central Citations. To see tagged versions of these examples, see: Sample PubMed Central Citations - XML Tagged.
