Journal Metadata
Every TF JATS article XML and issue XML is required to contain a <journal-meta> element that holds information to identify the journal that the article or issue is a part of. The journal metadata should include:
- publisher-id
- Taylor & Francis' 4-character acronym for the journal
- title-id
- Taylor & Francis' identifier for the incarnation of the journal unique to each title change
- journal-title
- Primary title of the journal
- journal-subtitle
- Subtitle of the journal
- issn ppub
- Print ISSN
- issn epub
- Electronic/Online ISSN
- publisher-name
- Imprint under which the journal is published
This information will normally be provided in cats.xml as shown in the examples below. In addition, the <abbrev-journal-title> element may be used to hold an abbreviated form of the journal title for a running title, as described in the section on running titles.
