Author and Editors

Capture each author or editor contributor in a <contrib> element child of <contrib-group>

Note: If the contributor is a research group rather than an individual then instead follow the instructions for Collaborations instead.

Each <contrib> must have a @contrib-type attribute. The only allowed values for this attribute are author or editor.

If the contrib represents a corresponding author then include a @corresp attribute with the value yes.

Each <contrib> representing an author or an editor must have a child <name> element. Capture the contributors surname and given name(s) in child <surname> and <given-names> elements respectively. If the contributor has only one name capture this in the <surname> element.

The <name> element must contain a @name-style attribute. If the contributor has their name presented in the order given-name, surname then use western as the value. If the contributor has their name presented in the order surname, given name then use eastern as the value.

Capture qualifiers that follow a contributors name (such as Jr or Sr) in a <suffix> element child of the relevant <contrib>.

The contributor's associated affiliation, footnote or biography information must be explicitly linked using an <xref> element (See Contributor Cross References).
