Related Elements

A number of elements in this Suite relate to page numbers used in bibliographic citations (<element-citation> and <mixed-citation>):

• <fpage> names the page number on which a referenced item begins;
• <lpage> names the page number on which a referenced item ends (which should be the same page number or a number larger than the starting page number);
• <elocation-id> replaces the start and end page elements just described for electronic-only publications;
• <page-range> records discontinuous page ranges (See note below.); and
• <page-count> (deprecated) holds the total page count, if a page count is included for a referenced item, only in an in an <nlm-citation>, which is now a deprecated element. Other citation types use <size>, with an @units of “page”.

Note: The <page-range> is intended to record supplementary information and should not be used in the place of the <fpage> and <lpage> elements, which are typically needed for citation matching. The <page-range> element is merely a text string, containing such material as “8-11, 14-19, 40”, which would mean that the article began on page 8, ran through 11, skipped to page 14, ran through 19, and concluded on page 40.
