Section Headings

Table of Contents


Introduction

The <article-categories> element is a container element that holds information about how an article is grouped or sorted into related clusters, like subject matter, or by series.

Within the <article-categories> container element, the subject-group element signals either the document type or topical subject. The section heading should be tagged in <subj-group> with type attribute “heading”. Articles can contain more than one <subj-group> but only one may have @subj-group-type=“heading”. Cogent titles may have a different attribute value.

This is the section heading that will be used when the article is displayed online. If a section heading is not provided, article type will be used to display a section heading on tandfonline.com.

Examples

An example of the <article-categories> element tagged correctly:

<article-categories>  
<subj-group subj-group-type="heading"><subject>Original Article</subject></subj-group> 
</article-categories> 

The <series-title> element should not be used, so this example is incorrect:

<series-title content-type="section-heading">Original Research</series-title> 

Correct examples of a manuscript in a Cogent title tagged with different subj-group-type attributes.

<subj-group subj-group-type="journal-section"><compound-subject><compound-subject-part content-type="code">OASS-LTO</compound-subject-part><compound-subject-part content-type="name">Leisure &#x0026; Tourism</compound-subject-part></compound-subject></subj-group>   

<subj-group subj-group-type="article-classification"> 
<subject>Development Studies, Environment, Social Work, Urban Studies</subject> 
<subject>Social Sciences</subject> 
<subject>Tourism, Hospitality and Events</subject> 
<subject>Tourism Planning and Policy</subject> 
</subj-group>
