Re: [jats-list] "Self citation" markup (NLM Archiving v3).

["Newton, Simon - Edinburgh" <snewton@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

Yes, reconstruction of a self-citation from metadata is acceptable in the
majority of journals, but some require a form that cannot be generated
reliably that way. For example we may be obliged to enter creators' full names
into the metadata, but also to publish a self-citation in which forenames are
reduced to initials (and it's quite hard automatically to do that reliably);
or the self-citation needs to contain an extra piece of text that details
where the original language version of the article was published, and this is
not elsewhere in the XML. There is also the issue where even if we produce a
selection of styles to build it automatically, some journals will always want
something different, and short of producing a rendering script tailored for
every one of our many journals this seemed to be the best way round that. The
trade-off is indeed a form of duplication.

Many thanks - Simon.

Simon,

I would just consider this something to be handled by your rendering engine.
It should be able to build the citation directly from the <article-meta>, and
then you don't have to worry about duplicating that information in each
article.
