Re: [jats-list] Appropriate markup for a tweet citation

["Randall, Laura (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [E] laura.randall@xxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't had to use this before, but I do think that using
<name-alternatives> would be a good solution.

You could do something like this:
<person-group person-group-type="author">
  <name-alternatives>
      <name>
        <surname>Zaman</surname>
        <given-names>L</given-names>
      </name>
     <string-name content-type="twitter-handle">@LuisZaman</string-name>
  </name-alternatives>
</person-group>

Handling it this way would allow you to keep the parsed name distinct from the
twitter handle. Specifying the @content-type on the string name would allow
you to include handles/usernames from various social media platforms all
associated with the same individual's parsed name.

Best,
Laura

Subject: [jats-list] Appropriate markup for a tweet citation

I'm currently working with an article that cites several tweets. If
anyone has handled this before, I'd appreciate a sanity check on the
markup that we're using to capture this information:

  <element-citation publication-type="tweet">
    <person-group person-group-type="author">
      <name>
        <surname>Zaman</surname>
        <given-names>L</given-names>
        <suffix>(@LuisZaman)</suffix>
      </name>
    </person-group>
    <year>2014</year>
    <date date-type="pub" iso-8601-date="2014-02-01T14:50">2:50 PM - 1
Feb 2014</date>
    <article-title>Surface sterilized PLA that was bsnappedb to expose
fresh filament not growing in LB @ryneches
@runforsushi</article-title>
    <uri>https://twitter.com/LuisZaman/status/429748626449903618</uri>
  </element-citation>

In particular, would it be more appropriate to somehow use
<name-alternatives> for the username, rather than `<suffix>`?

For presentation, there was a post by the MLA titled "How do I cite a
tweet?" that recently disappeared in a site reorganisation, but here's
the archived version:

Thanks in advance,
