The publication date of an article and it’s issue uses the element <pub-date> which may contain the elements <day>, <month>, <season> and must contain <year>. <pub-date> may be accompanied by the attribute @publication-format and @date-type where:

@publication-format can be ppub if there is a publication date for a print version of the article, and epub to identify the electronic publication date.

@date-type can be collection or pub where:

  • pub represents the article publication date in it’s print and/or electronic versions,

    Note

    Only complete dates are accepted wich means the pub-date element must have the elements <day>, <month> and <year>. The element <season> it not accepted here.

  • collection represents the publication date defined by the journal periodicity.

    Note

    It is not necessary to have the attribute @publication-format when the attribute @date-type has the value collection. See the examples bellow.

For Érudit PS will be mandatory to have at least one <pub-date> element inside <article-meta> with the publication date defined by the journal periodicity and expressed by the attribute @date-type=collection. The article and journal publishing dates may differs for many reasons.

Note

The use of the attribute @pub-type is deprecated in NISO JATS Journal Archiving DTD specifications, and consequently it is not accepted in Érudit PS.
