Back Matter

Definition

Ancillary or supporting material that is not included as part of the main textual content of a journal article but that follows the body of material that composes the article. Back Matter, for example, might include: appendices, glossaries, and bibliographic reference lists.

Remarks

Conversion Note: The <sec> element can be used within the Back Matter <back> to tag material that has not been explicitly named as one of the other back matter components, that is, it is not named as an appendix, an acknowledgment, a glossary, etc. For example, tables are frequently placed in the back matter, with no other designation than a label such as “Table 6”, or a title such as “Epochs of Geologic Time”.

Related Elements

A journal article <article> may be divided into four (more typically, three) parts:

  1. the <front> (the article metadata or header information, which contains both journal and article metadata);
  2. the <body> (textual and graphical content of the article);
  3. any <back> (ancillary information such as a glossary, reference list, or appendix); and
  4. either a series of <response> elements (A response is a commentary on the article itself.) or a series of <sub-article> elements (Sub-articles are smaller articles completely contained within the article.).
