Authors

The Authors style is applied to one or more paragraphs of contributor names, such as the names of manuscript authors and editors.

In a JATS XML workflow, Author Processing is a required eXtyles step that identifies name elements and footnotes and applies the au_ class of character styles (e.g., au_surname) to each element in the Authors paragraph.

These characters styles are used during XML Export to provide granular tagging of contributor names in the <contrib-group> element (see <contrib-group> in the JATS Tag Library)

Note

The author list must be reviewed after running Author Processing to ensure that the various elements have been correctly identified.

Certain situations can cause problems for Author Processing in the standard eXtyles configuration:

  • names in non-Western order (i.e. Surname Given-Names)

  • multi-word surnames separated by spaces; unusual or non-standard degree names.

Errors in Author Processing can be corrected by careful hand tagging.

Info

For detailed descriptions on author character styling, please see the Author Processing.

Affiliations

text

Character Styles

Affiliations is applied to one or more paragraphs that include the institutions or organizations with which an author is affiliated.

Author affiliations can be edited as one affiliation per paragraph OR multiple affiliations in a single paragraph.

In the "one affiliation per paragraph" style, when superscript letters, numbers, or symbols are used to link affiliations to authors, the linking character must be at the start of the affiliation paragraph. 

All levels of an organization are listed within a single <aff> element, which can be placed either inside or following the <contrib-group>.

The JATS XML Tag Library recommends:

In a typical case, the @id attribute of an <aff> element will be pointed to from one or more <contrib> elements, establishing the linkage between them.

Info

See the Author page in the JATS Export section for XML export examples of affiliations.

Character Styles

This section describes various character styles that can be applied by hand to give additional granularity in affiliations in the XML file.

Only those elements that are required to be specifically identified in the XML need to be styled. There is no requirement to style all or any part of the affiliation in order to obtain valid JATS XML.
