<access-date>

Access Date for Cited Work

Definition

The date on which the cited work was examined. This is a human-readable date; there has been no attempt to standardize the date format.

Remarks

Some online resources are changing so quickly that a citation (<citation>) to the resource is not complete without the date on which the cited resource was examined, since a day before or a day later, the relevant material might be different.

Related Elements

The related element <time-stamp> is used to record a time stamp that was found on the resource when it was examined, not the date when the researcher examined the cited resource. The time stamp is applied to the resource by its creators, usually as a version indicator.
