The full title of a journal article or other journal component such as a book review
The <article-title> element is used in two contexts: as a part of the metadata concerning the article itself and as part of bibliographic reference metadata inside a bibliographic citations <citation> and <nlm-citation>.
The title is nearly always in the original language of publication, but a publisher or archive might choose to place all article titles in one language, such as English, and use the translated title element to hold the original title (Translated Title <trans-title>).
For extensive examples of formatted <nlm-citation>s including use of <article-title>s in <nlm-citation>s, see: Sample PubMed Central Citations. To see tagged versions of these examples, see: Sample PubMed Central Citations - XML Tagged.
Conversion Note: 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. Some DTDs place it within the title; some leave it as untagged data characters within the text of the <citation> or <nlm-citation>. Although this DTD Suite cannot enforce either structure, retrieval performance will be enhanced if the subtitle is placed into the <article-title> element in cited material, so this is considered best practice.
