Affiliations

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; alternatively, eXtyles also supports 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. 

 The following examples of author list and affiliations will parse correctly.
