Contributors
Capture the information about a contributor in a contrib element within contrib-group.
contrib-group/contrib
Each contrib element must have a single name child containing the name of the contributor.
Capture the contributor's forenames or initials in a given-names child of the name element. In journal articles, author initials must be separated with a space and not closed up or with punctuation.
Capture the contributor's surname in a surname child of the name element.
If only one name is provided, capture it in a surname element.
A contrib element must have a contrib-type attribute, indicating the role of the contributor. allowed values are:
| contrib-type value | Type of content where it can be used |
|---|---|
| author | Books and journal articles |
| editor | Books and journal articles |
| compiler | Books only |
Do not capture a contributor's address in the address element. (In a journal article, the corresp element is used.)
Capture the authors of every chapter, section of front or back matter, and appendix in a book, even when they are the same for all items within the book.
