<access-date>

Access Date for Cited Work

This is an element from older versions of this Tag Set (now replaced by the <date-in-citation> element using a @content-type attribute of “access-date”) that records the date on which the cited work was examined.

Remarks

This element is an artifact, now used only within the <nlm-citation> element, which is deprecated in and after Version 3.0. Use of this element is therefore also deprecated.

Some online resources are changing so quickly that a 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. The <date-in-citation> element is now used to record such information inside <mixed-citation> and <element-citation>s.
