[jats-list] Tagging Peer-Review Comments and Replies in JATS

["Haber, David dhaber@xxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We are investigating ways of including peer-reviewers' comments and author's
replies within an article encoded using the JATS 1.0 journal publishing tag
set. We've seen some publishers accomplish this by tagging the objects as
supplemental data, whereas others include the comments in the back element as
a section. Both these alternatives seem less than ideal, and we were wondering
if there were other/better alternatives.

We've thought about tagging the content as a response, but that seems to be a
bit of a stretch. So does anybody have any thoughts or ideas about handling a
reviewers comments?

Has there been a best practice established?

Thanks.

DH
