Contributor affiliations

Capture the affiliation of a contributor in an aff element that is a child of the contrib element.

contrib-group/contrib/aff

Create an aff child of contrib for every unique affiliation of that contributor.

Each aff element must contain only the applicable institution, city, territory, and country, separated by commas and spaces. There must not be terminal punctuation.

Within the aff element:

capture an institution element containing the name of the institution
if the ROR identifier of an institution is provided, then use an institution-wrap element to capture:
- the institution identifier within an institution-id element, with attribute institution-id-type="ror"; the ROR identifier must start with "https://ror.org/"
- the institution name within an institution element; if this is captured, there is no need to capture an additional institution element as a direct child of aff
capture the address of the affiliation in an addr-line element
capture a country element containing the name of the country
give the country element a country attribute with the value of the corresponding ISO-3166-1 2-digit country code.

Single affiliation

<contrib-group> 
  <contrib contrib-type="author">

      <addr-line>Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge</addr-line>, 
      <country country="GB">United Kingdom</country></aff>
  </contrib>
</contrib-group>

Single affiliation with the ROR identifier of an institution

<contrib-group>
  <contrib contrib-type="author">
    <name>
     <surname>Baker</surname>
     <given-names>Andrew H.</given-names>
    </name>
    <aff>Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht,

      <addr-line>6229 HX Maastricht</addr-line>,
      <country country="NL">The Netherlands</country>
    </aff>
  </contrib>
</contrib-group>

Shared affiliations

In this example two contributors have the same content for their aff element.

<contrib-group> 
  <contrib contrib-type="author">
    <name>
     <surname>Barton</surname>
     <given-names>Clint</given-names>
    </name>
    <aff><institution>Wayne State University School of Medicine</institution>,
      <addr-line>Detroit, Michigan</addr-line>,

  </contrib>
  <contrib contrib-type="author">

    <aff><institution>Wayne State University School of Medicine</institution>,
