Correspondence

The Correspondence style should be used for one or more paragraphs that provide contact details for the corresponding author(s). Similar to affiliations, eXtyles supports linking of correspondence details either with or without a footnote symbol. If no footnote symbol is used to link the corresponding author to the author line, the corresponding author's name should match his or her name in the author line in order for eXtyles to successfully add the appropriate attribute to the author's name within the <contrib-group> in the XML.

The JATS XML Tag Library notes:

In current journal tag set practice, information naming one contributor as the corresponding contributor may be tagged explicitly using a <corresp> element or may just be one of many footnotes <fn> concerning the contributor. Although this Suite supports both practices, if possible, the correspondence information should be tagged using the <corresp> element.

The following examples of author lists and correspondence details will parse correctly.

Example 1 - Correspondence paragraph linked using a footnote symbol

<contrib contrib-type="author" corresp="yes"><name><surname>Gebhard</surname><given-names>Caitlin</given-names></name><xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff1"><sup>1</sup></xref><xref ref-type="corresp" rid="cor1"><sup>*</sup></xref></contrib>

<author-notes>
<corresp id="cor1"><label>*</label>Correspondence: <email xlink:href="info@inera.com">info@inera.com</email></corresp>
</author-notes>

Example 2 - Correspondence paragraph linked using an author name

<contrib contrib-type="author" corresp="yes"><name><surname>Gebhard</surname><given-names>Caitlin</given-names></name><xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff1"><sup>1</sup></xref></contrib>

<author-notes>
<corresp id="cor1">Correspondence: Caitlin Gebhard (<email xlink:href="info@inera.com">info@inera.com</email>)</corresp>
</author-notes>
