Re: [jats-list] Twitter handle as author contact

["Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex gerrit.imsieke@xxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jen,

I'd go with

<contrib contrib-type="author">
  ...
  <ext-link ext-link-type="twitter"
    xlink:href="https://twitter.com/handle";>@handle</ext-link>
</contrib>

Our XSL will convert this to a proper Twitter link and the print article would just display the Twitter handle. Of course, <uri> is also available in <contrib> and could be used, too, since the goal is to provide a direct link to their Twitter page from the online content. A simple <uri xlink:type="Twitter"> might even be better.
