[jats-list] history and pub-history events in JATS

["Melissa Harrison m.harrison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there

Can anyone clarify some information in the documentation for JATS because
it is currently a bit confusing.

*<history>* is described as "Container element for dates related to the
processing history of the document (for example, received date, accepted
date)." and has the following remarks "Best Practice: The dates inside the
<history> element are used to *preserve events other than publication
date(s) in the life cycle of the article*."

*<pub-history> *is described as "Used as a container for events related to
the processing history of the document, such as the date a manuscript was
submitted, the reprint date for an article, etc."

I thought *<pub-history> *is a container for events related to the
processing publication history of the document, such as the date a
manuscript was submitted published as a preprint, published in accepted
manuscript form, the reprint date for an article, etc."

Thanks

Melissa
