Legal bibliographic references and citations have additional requirements to the general instructions for capture.
Legal bibItems are classified according to a set of legal classes.
There are more potential classes for law bibItems than for the core classes. Capture the content for law bibItems at the Tables, Extract or Full level as requested by OUP.
confirmation may be used on law bibItems instead of the full set of law bibItem attributes.
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 the headnote of a case report or legislative document, one bibItem (within the citeGrp element of the headnote) refers to the document itself (referred to as the original citation).
Where a reference is to a specific provision of a legislative document (international instrument, rules of court, EU legislation, foreign domestic legislation, UK legislation or US legislation) you must capture a sectRef attribute.
Only mark up the first instance of a reference within a numbered section or note in a bibItem element. Do not mark up further instances of the same reference within the same section or note.
In Law content requiring full level bibItem capture, capture abbreviated or incomplete references using the bibItem element. Research the missing information in order to complete the attributes for the bibItem element.
For references in case reports, capture the party names in a bibItemTitle element. The bibItem title you capture is not necessarily the title of the referenced work. It can be a part of the reference chosen for hyperlinking the reference in the online version.
Ibid. or Id. may be used in footnotes and reference lists to reduce duplication of text in the print version where there are repeated citations to the same source document.
Op. Cit. may be used in footnotes and reference lists where there are repeated citations to the same bibliographical reference, but only part of the citation is duplicated to reduce duplication of text in the print version.
