[jats-list] how do you tie author contributions to a specific author

[ian mulvany <i.mulvany@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We are capturing specific author contributions to the paper during the
submissions process. I would like to
tie author contributions to a specific author.

Our XML currently looks like this:

<contrib-group>
<contrib contrib-type="author">
<name>
<surname>Sur1</surname>
<given-names>Giv1</given-names>
</name>
</contrib>
<contrib contrib-type="author">
<name>
<surname>Sur2</surname>
<given-names>Giv2</given-names>
</name>
<xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn1">&#x2020;</xref>
</contrib>
<contrib contrib-type="author" corresp="yes">
<name>
<surname>Sur3</surname>
<given-names>Giv3</given-names>
</name>
<xref ref-type="corresp" rid="cor1">&#x2a;</xref>
</contrib>

...

<fn fn-type="con">
<label>Author Contributions</label><p>MCS: Conception and design of
experiments, acquisition of data, analysis and interpretation of data,
drafting and revising the article</p><p>KB: Conception and design of
experiments, acquisition of data, analysis and interpretation of data,
revising the article</p><p>ITB:Conception and design of experiments,
acquisition of data, analysis and interpretation of data, drafting and
revising the article.</p></fn>
</fn-group>


I've been looking at a few options, and I think the following is the
right way to do this (it validates against
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/tools/xmlchecker/):

        <contrib-group>
        <contrib contrib-type="author" id="auth1">
                <name>
                <surname>Sur1</surname>
                <given-names>Giv1</given-names>
                </name>
        </contrib>

        <contrib contrib-type="author" id="auth2">
        <name>
                <surname>Sur2</surname>
                <given-names>Giv2</given-names>
                </name>
                <xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn1">&#x2020;</xref>
        </contrib>

        <contrib contrib-type="author" corresp="yes" id="auth3">
                <name>
                <surname>Sur3</surname>
                <given-names>Giv3</given-names>
                </name>
                <xref ref-type="corresp" rid="cor1">&#x2a;</xref>
        </contrib>

....

<fn-group>
        <fn fn-type="con">
        <label>Author Contributions</label>
        <p><xref ref-type="contrib" rid="auth1">MCS: Conception and
design of experiments, acquisition of data, analysis and
interpretation of data, drafting and revising the article</xref></p>
        <p><xref ref-type="contrib" rid="auth2">KB: Conception and
design of experiments, acquisition of data, analysis and
interpretation of data, revising the article</xref></p>
        <p><xref ref-type="contrib" rid="auth3">ITB:Conception and
design of experiments, acquisition of data, analysis and
interpretation of data, drafting and revising the article.</xref></p>
        </fn>
</fn-group>


I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have on this.
