  • received: manuscript received for review (publisher supplied)
  • accepted: manuscript accepted for publication (publisher supplied)
  • epublish: electronically published (publisher supplied)
  • ppublish: print published (publisher supplied)
  • revised: manuscript revised by publisher or author (publisher supplied)

The values pmc, pmcr, pubmedr, premedline, and medliner were processing/record revision dates that were deprecated after the PubMed Data Management System (PMDM) was released in 2016. These values are still allowed (although not used) to retain the backward compatibility of the DTD.
