Elements

These XML elements have specific style rules associated with them. This is not a complete list of XML elements included in the tag set. For guidance using elements not listed here, consult the appropriate tag library.

<abstract>
Articles may contain more than one abstract. For each abstract beyond the first, specify the attribute @abstract-type.
Capture only the abstract in this tag. Other metadata like copyright information, citation information, and keywords are not part of the abstract.
Sections within abstracts must have either a <title> or a <label>. If neither exists, do not use <sec>. Do not use @sec-type on <sec> within abstracts.
Use the <trans-abstract> element to tag abstracts in languages different from that of the primary article.
Example: More than one abstract in an article.
The first abstract is the main abstract and is a structured abstract and therefore is tagged with multiple sections with titles and no @sec-type. The second abstract is meant to display on a table of contents page of a journal and is tagged with @abstract-type="toc". The third is a graphical abstract with @abstract-type="graphical". The fourth is a plain language summary with @abstract-type="plain-language-summary". The text of the examples is excerpted from Krieger et al. PLoS Med 2005 Jul; 2(7): e162 and Gotfried MH et al. Pulm Ther. 2018 Jun;4(1):59-71.

<mml:math>
<mml:math> is the root element for MathML.
Breaking long formulas
Do not set long formulas in <mml:mtable> just to get them to break. Capture potential or desired breaks with <mml:mspace linebreak="newline"/>. Do not use @linebreak="goodbreak". If the formula was broken in a print version, enter a <mml:mspace linebreak="newline"/> at that point, and the break will be used if necessary during rendering.
Subscripts and Superscripts with Fences:
Elements <mml:msub>, <mml:msup>, and <mml:msubsup> must enclose the entire contents of the expression they affect, not just the closing fence. Fences include: ] } ) &#x03009; &#x0232A; &#x027E9; .

  • <mml:msub> — the first child is the base, the second is the subscript expression.
  • <mml:msup> — the first child is the base, the second is the superscript expression.
  • <mml:munder> — the first child is the base, the second is the underscript.
  • <mml:mover> — the first child is the base, the second is the overscript.
These elements require exactly 3 child elements. If any of the sub-expressions is complex, wrap it in an <mml:mrow>.
  • <mml:munderover> — the first child is the base, the second is the underscript, the third is the overscript.
  • <mml:msubsup> — the first child is the base, the second is the subscript expression, the third is the superscript expression. The subscript and superscript will be stacked.

1.3

Tag only one publication date per <pub-date> element.
Articles cannot have more than one <pub-date> with the same combination of @date-type and @publication-format.
Any article with a specified @date-type="collection" must also have one <pub-date> with @date-type="pub" and @publication-format="electronic". Epub dates must contain a <day>, <month>, and <year>.
The most common @publication-format values are "electronic" and "print"; the most common @date-type values are "pub" and "collection". When an article is published in more than one medium, there will be more than one <pub-date>. The number and types of tagged <pub-date> elements depends on the publication model of the journal.
There are two basic classes of publication: issue-based publication and article-based publication.
  • Issue-based publication is when an entire issue is "published" at one time — in print, online, or both. Issue publication dates and article publication dates coincide, so the issue publication date is all that is needed.
  • Article-based publication is when articles are "published" individually or in small groups. They may be published in Issues (e.g. all of the articles published online in June 2005 are in the "June" issue) which may or may not be printed. Even if the articles are not collected in Issues, they are collected in some way - perhaps by random collection dates, by volume, or by year. This "collection" date usually does not coincide with the article publication date.
Here are several examples of publishing models and their corresponding publication dates.
Print-only Model — This is the traditional print model. Articles are collected by the editor, formed into issues, and published an issue-worth at a time. All articles have the same publication date, which coincides with the Issue cover date. For this model, each article will have <pub-date> with @date-type="pub" and @publication-format="print". In this model, the issues may go "online" the same day as the print date or sometime thereafter, but the official publication date is controlled by the Issue cover date.
Print–Online Coincident Model — This is a similar model to the Print-only Model, except there is a little more emphasis on the fact that the online version of the issue is published on the same date. For this model, each article will have <pub-date> with @date-type="pub" and @publication-format="electronic-print".
Print with Electronic Articles Prepublished Model — In this model, some or all of the articles are published (their official publication date) online before the publication date of the print issue. For this model, each prepublished article will have <pub-date> with @pub-type="epub" to represent its individual online publication date, and every article will have a <pub-date> with @date-type="pub" and @publication-format="print" to represent the printed issue date.
Print with Electronic "Preprints" — This is similar to the "Print with Electronic Articles Prepublished Model" where articles from an issue appear online before the publication date of the issue. The difference, however, is that the online versions of the articles are electronic preprints and are not officially published. All of the articles are published on the issue cover date, and they all have the same publication date. For this model, each preprint article will have <pub-date> with @date-type="preprint" and @publication-format="electronic" to represent date it was available online, and every article will have a <pub-date> with @date-type="pub" and @publication-format="print" to represent the printed issue date.
Articles Published Online and Collected into Print Issues Model — For this model, each article will have <pub-date> with @date-type="pub" and @publication-format="electronic" to represent its individual publication date and a <pub-date> with @date-type="pub" and @publication-format="print" to represent publication date of the print issue.
Articles Published Online and Collected into "Issues" Online Model — Issues here do not need to be named "Issue 1", "Issue 2", etc. These are just collections of articles online. The collecting might be done by dates (Months, Quarters, Years) or by Volume. For this model, each article will have <pub-date> with @date-type="pub" and @publication-format="electronic" to represent its individual publication date and a <pub-date> with @date-type="collection" and @publication-format="electronic" to represent the date of the online collection it belongs in. This date may be a day/month/year, month/year, season/year, or just year.

For this model, each prepublished article will have <pub-date> with @pub-type="epub" to represent its individual online publication date, and every article will have a <pub-date> with @pub-type="ppub" to represent the printed issue date.
Print with Electronic "Preprints" — This is similar to the "Print with Electronic Articles Prepublished Model" where articles from an issue appear online before the publication date of the issue. The difference, however, is that the online versions of the articles are electronic preprints and are not officially published. All of the articles are published on the issue cover date, and they all have the same publication date. For this model, each preprint article will have <pub-date> with @pub-type="epreprint" to represent date it was available online, and every article will have a <pub-date> with @pub-type="ppub" to represent the printed issue date.
Articles Published Online and Collected into Print Issues Model — For this model, each article will have <pub-date> with @pub-type="epub" to represent its individual publication date and a <pub-date> with @pub-type="ppub" to represent publication date of the print issue.
Articles Published Online and Collected into "Issues" Online Model — Issues here do not need to be named "Issue 1", "Issue 2", etc. These are just collections of articles online. The collecting might be done by dates (Months, Quarters, Years) or by Volume. For this model, each article will have <pub-date> with @pub-type="epub" to represent its individual publication date and a <pub-date> with @pub-type="collection" to represent the date of the online collection it belongs in. This date may be a day/month/year, month/year, season/year, or just year.
<pub-date pub-type="epub">
  <day>1</day>
  <month>1</month>
  <year>2013</year>
</pub-date>
<pub-date pub-type="collection">
  <month>1</month>
  <year>2013</year>
</pub-date>

<related-article>
Use to point to another article and to describe the relationship. The element's attribute values specify the related article's citation information so that it can be uniquely identified. The described article must not be the article containing this tag. If the related article has a DOI, it is strongly recommended that the DOI be specified. When specifying a DOI, tag the DOI value in @xlink:href and specify @ext-link-type="doi". The element may be empty.
PMC uses a controlled list of values in @related-article-type, such as "corrected-article" or "letter" to describe the relationships between the article being tagged and the related article. The value of @related-article-type must always describe the type of article being pointed to. For example, a correction notice uses the @related-article-type="corrected-article" to point to the article being corrected.
Note: PMC automatically generates a reciprocal link from the related article to the article containing the <related-article> element for most @related-article-type values, so it isn't necessary to tag a <related-article> in both the article and its related article.
@related-article-typeUse to:Notes
"addended-article"point from an addendum to the original articleOnly allowed when the @article-type is "addendum".
"alt-language"point to the same article published in a different language
