The <pub-history> element is a container for recording of the processing history of the article. It can include received/revised/accepted/retracted dates, but also additional events such as reprint or different versions published (in <event> element).
<event> inside <pub-history> in an event in the processing history of the article and can include date <date> as well as event description <event-desc>.
<tf:tagger> from TF JATS has been replaced with @event-type="tagger”. “Tagger” identifies who created or updated an XML and it should be set to the name of the typesetter, organization, or individual (i.e., EPU) or converter script. <event event-type="tagger"> needs to be stripped out in the 3rd-party feeds.
The <date> format is as follows:
<day>D</day><month>M</month><year>YYYY</year> and no longer iso-8601-date="2019-05-01”.
Each <event> element must have an @event-type attribute that identifies the event using a value from the following list.
