Citation

Definition

A bibliographic description of a work, such as a journal article, book, or personal communication, that is either cited directly in the text of an article or is listed in the bibliographic reference list at the end of the article and referenced from within the text

Remarks

Although in this DTD Suite, citations are allowed to float freely within a paragraph, most journals require that the full citation be listed in the bibliographic reference list <> and only a X(cross) Reference <xref> be inserted into the text at the place of reference.

Although the DTD does not enforce it, a citation to a journal article should be tagged with as many as possible of the following, so that PubMed Central or other matching processing can make the citation into a live link:

source

Title of a journal, book, conference proceedings, etc. that is the source of the cited material

article-title

Title of the article

volume

Volume of the journal

issue

Issue of the journal

fpage

Page number on which the article starts

name

Name of an author or editor

year

Year of publication

month

Month of publication (if present)

day

Date of publication (if present)

The other elements may be tagged if desired. Use the <source> element for titles of books, conference proceedings, etc.

Conversion Note: In order to make citations into live links, as much of the author and date information as is available should be preserved, even if it not possible to tag all the element just named. The most important date tag is <year>, and it should always be tagged if possible, for example, <year>2003</year>. The <day> and <month> tags are used more rarely; they are provided because some of the citation matching services can use the month and day information if it is available.
