Issue Information

The <issue-meta> element contains information specific to the issue.

The @issue-type attribute on <issue-meta> should be set to “normal” for most issues. For supplement issues @issue-type should be set to “volume-suppl”.

<pub-date> must be included in <issue-meta> to provide an estimated online publication date and/or a cover date. See the topic on publication dates for additional information about pub-date. An online publication date, which may be estimated, should be tagged using @publication-format attribute with value “electronic” and @date-type attribute with value “epub”, and contain a day, month, and year. This date will be provided in cats.xml as the control date for the issue.

<pub-date publication-format="electronic" date-type="epub"> 

    <day>8</day>

    <year>2019</year> 

</pub-date> 

If the issue has a cover date, the cover date should be tagged using @publication-format attribute with value “print” and @date-type attribute with value “cover”. The cover date should be tagged in <string-date> element. The year should also be tagged in a <year> element, and to the degree possible the month and day should be tagged in <month> and <day> elements. Cover months are not normally used in current content, and more commonly are found in retrodigitized or archive content.

<pub-date publication-format="print" date-type="cover"> 

    <month>2</month> 

    <year>2019</year> 

    <string-date>February 2019</string-date> 

</pub-date> 

The volume number should be tagged in the <volume> element, and the issue number should be tagged in the <issue> element. If the issue has a title, the issue’s title should be tagged in the <issue-title> element. See the section on Issue Metadata for details.

If an issue’s table of contents includes the names of guest editors, the guest editors can be tagged in a <contrib-group> element within <issue-meta>.

Table of Contents

The <toc> element contains a table of contents for the issue, including callouts to each article in the issue.

Each article in the issue should have an <issue-article-meta> that contains an <article-id> element to hold the article DOI and a <self-uri> element to hold a relative path to the article XML.

Section headings can be tagged by placing a <issue-subject-group> element around the articles in a section, and using a <issue-subject-title> element and <subject> element to hold the section heading. Any additional text about the section can be tagged in <issue-subject-title> using the <p> element.
