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.
