Authors and Editors

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

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

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-name> elements respectively.

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 titles or other qualifiers (such as Dr) that usually precede a contributors name in a <prefix> element child of the relevant <contrib>.

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 explictly linked using an <xref> element (See Contributor Cross References).
