article-meta/pub-date[@pub-type="cover"]

Cover dates are only to be used to capture dates for display which can't be captured using the standard publication dates. These appear in the drop down issue list online when present. Examples include seasons (Winter, Spring etc), month-year (May 2017) and year only (2017) values for CPV titles.

Cover dates are always in addition to the standard dates, not a replacement of and do not require a day element unless advised.

The date captured here must match exactly the cover date found in the issue_meta file. See Issue meta: Cover dates for more details.
