Article Title

The <title-group> element is the container for the article title. The primary article title should be captured in the <article-title> element, and the article subtitle should be captured in the <subtitle> element. For example:

<title-group>
    <article-title>Poly(3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene)-Indium Tin Oxide Nanocomposites</article-title>
    <subtitle>Improved Electrochromic Response and Efficiency</subtitle>
</title-group>

Special Case: Uppercase Styles

The article title and subtitle should normally be captured in Title Case. In some journal styles the article title appears in upper case in one location (for example, the article opening page) and in title case in another location (for example, on the table of contents). Automatic styling is not always capable of correctly creating an uppercase rendition, so the uppercase form may need to be tagged. The uppercase form of the article title should be tagged in <alt-title> elements with type attribute values "uppercase" and "uppercase-subtitle".

<title-group>
    <article-title>The First Observation of y-Sila-Pummerer Rearrangement</article-title>
    <alt-title alt-title-type="uppercase">THE FIRST OBSERVATION OF y-SILA-PUMMERER REARRANGEMENT</alt-title>
</title-group>

Footnotes on Article Titles

Footnotes attached to the article or subtitle should be captured by tagging the footnote in an <fn-group> element inside <title-group>, and tagging an empty <xref> pointing to the footnote in <article-title> or <subtitle>. It is important that the <xref> element be empty in <article-title> and <subtitle>, and the <label> element in the footnote should be used to render the footnote marker. For example:

<title-group>
    <article-title>Article title<xref rid="FN0001"/></article-title>
    <fn-group>
        <fn id="FN0001">
            <label><sup>*</sup></label><p>Footnote attached to article title</p>
        </fn>
    </fn-group>
</title-group>
