<middlename> (
Middle Name)
Description
Description
This element contains the middle name of the author of the article, or the author or editor of a work referenced from the article.
Note that this element is an alternative for the
<inits> element that should be used when the middle name is known in full (and unlike that element can be used in references). In fact, that element is also needed if there is more than one middle name, as this element cannot repeat:
<givenname>Peter</givenname>
<inits>J. </inits><middlename>Alfred</middlename>
<surname>Smith</surname>
Parent Elements
The elements listed below may directly contain this element.
