Oxford University Press Text Capture Instructions

 

Law bibItems: References in headnotes

OUP law material sometimes includes a headnote written especially for online publication. The references in this headnote can include particular markup to help with their capture.

In a case report headnote, where a reference occurs within running text, OUP use an asterisk to mark the start of the text that you must capture as a bibItem. Do not capture the asterisk * in the XML.

  • Case references should not appear in the Instruments cited field of a case report
  • References in the Subsequent developments field of a case report headnote (consid role="subsequentDevelopment") should all have class="case-ref"

The bibItem representing the Citations field of a case report must not have its party names italicized

Sub-topics

  1. Link type of a reference - linkType

    References in law content must have a link type. In case report headnotes, the link type is provided. For other types of document, use their default value.

  2. Example reference in headnote

    An example reference that includes a link type taken from a headnote field.

  3. URLs in headnote references

    Capture URLs added to a case report headnote references in a url attribute of the bibItem element. Capture other URLs in a url child of bibItem.

  4. Placeholder text in headnote references

    In some citations in headnotes, the reference ends with bracketed text reading "[need full cite]", "[review cite]", or similar. Capture this text in the idnumber attribute of the bibItem.
