Description
This element contains references (also known as "citations") that appear at the end of the article. It is possible to group related references, and to distinguish readings from other references. There are also specific reference constructs for works of the following types:
-
government publications
-
presentations given at conferences
-
articles in periodical publications (such as journals)
-
books (or parts of books)
-
patents
-
Web sites
Note that there should be no confusion between these references to works, and the references embedded wihin the body of the article to these citations. Essentially, an inline reference is actually a (brief) reference to a (complete) reference to a work.
Parent Elements
The elements listed below may directly contain this element. They are "parent" elements. Elements in referenced groups are included, up to two levels of group nesting.
Parent elements: <article> <unarticle>
