The <related-article> element is used to identify relationships between articles. For example, an erratum or corrigendum should contain a <related-article> element pointing to the original article. Another example: a translated version of a previously published article should use a <related-article> element to link the two together.
The <related-article> element should only be used to link articles that are hosted and published by T&F. The <related-article> element should not be used to link articles that are hosted on other publishers’ platforms.
Related articles should be tagged using the DOI of the related article, and a @related-article-type attribute to identify the type of relationship. The <related-article> element should be placed within <article-meta>.
An article may contain multiple <related-article> elements. For instance, if a correction statement describes multiple articles that are being corrected there should be a <related-article> element for each article.
For most types of article relationships, the article published later should contain a <related-article> element linking to the article that published earlier. The various relationship types to use in the @related-article-type attribute are listed below.
Related article tagging should be included when an article is related in one of these ways to another article, or when related article data are provided in cats.xml. The cats.xml relationtype values corresponding to each @related-article-type value are listed in the table above.
Certain article types are required to have related article links. Statements of correction, erratum or corrigendum with @article-type="correction” should contain a <related-article> element with @related-article-type “corrected-article” for each article that is a subject of the correction. Statements of retraction or partial retraction with @article-type="retraction” should contain a <related-article> element with @related-article-type “retracted-article” for each article that is being retracted. Expressions of concern with article-type="expression-of-concern” should contain a <related-article> element with @related-article-type="concerning-article” for each article that is described in the expression of concern.
The @related-article-type attribute on the <related-article> controls the display of reciprocal linking on the current article and on the targeted article. The <related-article> element only needs to appear in the article that is published later for reciprocal links to be displayed on both articles.
Additional material for an article which was generated too late to be added to the main text. Crossmark will display a link from the targeted article to the addendum. An article with @article-type="addendum” on the <article> element should have a <related-article> element pointing to the original article.
