Bibliographies

Capture bibliographies in a bibliography element within a bibliographyGroup.

//bibliography

Bibliographies most often appear as dedicated lists (e.g. a list of books, a table of cases, etc.) but they can also exist as a bibliographic essay, where references are mixed inline in text. Bibliographies consist of one or more lists of references or an essay of references, and generally appear in the front matter or end matter of a book, or at the end of a chapter or article. For both bibliographies grouped in lists (at the end of a book, chunk, or even div[1-7,N]) and bibliographic essays, capture bibliographies inside a single bibliographyGroup.

Bibliography lists can appear at the end of a chunk with heading levels that may mirror previous div[1-7,N] headings from within the chunk, ensure that these are still captured as a bibliographyGroup element and not as another div[1-7,N] element.

Capture individual, titled bibliographies inside bibliography within bibliographyGroup. Multiple bibliography elements may be captured in a bibliographyGroup.

Articles capture article-level bibliographies (generally at the end of the article) each within their own bibliographyGroup in a section[@role='bibliography']. See Bibliography sections within entries.

Bibliographies can have a variety of titles, for example ‘Bibliography’, ‘Further Reading’, ‘References’, ‘Resources’, ‘Suggested Readings’, and more. Capture the heading for a bibliography section in the titleGroup child of bibliography.

If multiple bibliographies are grouped together at the end of a book or chunk, capture as multiple bibliography elements inside a single bibliographyGroup.

If a bibliography with a heading is divided into subsections with headings, use a bibList element for each subsection, and capture the subsection heading in the titleGroup child of bibList. Capture each bibItem as a child of bibList. If a bibliography is presented as an essay with multiple inline bibItem elements in a narrative text use bibList to retain heading structure (if applicable) and mark the essay using p within bibList. Mark bibliographic text in each paragraph with an inline bibItem.

If the bibliography to a book is a front matter section, wrap the bibliographyGroup in a div1 element within miscMatter class="other".
