The <article-version> element should be tagged within <article-meta> to identify the version of a particular instance of an article’s XML. The version can be either a Version of Record, a Corrected Version of Record, an Accepted Manuscript, or a Proof. The corresponding tagging for each version is below.
Information related to article version should also be tagged as article event lifecycle data within the <pub-history> element. Please refer to the article event lifecycle topic.
Article version of record published in an issue
When an article is published in a journal issue, within the <article-meta> element there should be an <article-version> element that identifies the article as a Version of Record or Corrected Version of Record (if appropriate), and the <volume> and <issue> elements should identify the issue. See the topic on Issue Metadata.
This is also applicable for an article that is published online individually into a building issue (BIO), in which case the article will be packaged in a .zip for the individual article rather than a .zip for the entire issue.
Article version of record published ahead of issue
When an article is published online as a version of record ahead of the article being assigned to an issue, within the <article-meta> element there should be an <article-version> element that identifies the article as a Version of Record or Corrected Version of Record (if appropriate) and the <volume> element should contain “0” (zero). See the topic on Issue Metadata.
Article accepted manuscript
When an article is received as an accepted manuscript, within the <article-meta> element there should be an <article-version> element that identifies the article as an Accepted Manuscript and the <volume> element should contain “0” (zero). See the topic on Issue Metadata.
