<pub-date>

Publication Date

Definition

Date this book (or book component such as a chapter) was published or released in one particular format, for example, as a preprint electronic document

Remarks

As part of the metadata, the <pub-date> is allowed to repeat; each repetition can take a pub-type attribute to distinguish which form of publication, for example, print publication, preprint distribution, electronic publication, etc.

The tag set includes several date elements. For the date of publication of a book (metadata) use the element Publication Date <pub-date>. For the copyright date of a book (metadata) use the copyright year element <copyright-year>. The <date> element is be used for dates concerning a book or book component (e.g., a chapter) publication history such as the date last updated (also metadata). For the publication date of a cited work in a bibliographic reference <citation>, use the individual elements <month>, <day>, and <year>. If no month or month/day construction is given within a <citation>, and the only date is a season or a textual form of the date, such as “Third Quarter”, use the <season> element inside the <citation> element.
