Re: [jats-list] Preferred pronouns for authors

["Lizzi, Vincent vincent.lizzi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark, Tommie, and Gerrit,

I think that the role element could be used to hold authors' personal pronouns
with a content-type attribute value to semantically identify the text as
pronouns.

<contrib contrib-type="author">
    <name>
        <surname>Isobe</surname>
        <given-names>M.</given-names>
    </name>
    <role content-type="pronouns">they/them</role>
</contrib>

If your desired display format is to have the personal pronouns displayed
after the author's name, e.g. "M. Isobe (they/them)", and your rendering
displays the <role> element immediately following the contributor name (as
some renderings do) tagging personal pronouns in <role> like this might "just
work". The same display could be also be achieved with the tagged example
above and styling applied by the rendering (perhaps with CSS).

<role content-type="pronouns"><italic>(they/them)</italic></role>

The <role> element also has the advantage of being able to be repeated with
different xml:lang attribute values in case personal pronouns need to be
presented in more than one language.

Best,
Vincent

Hi Tommie and Mark,

Both approaches seem sensible to me. Maybe use @content-type instead of
@specific-use on string-name in Mark's variant.

The JATS standing committee might consider adding @pronouns to name and
string-name, should someone file a request for that. An attribute, on
the other hand, has the disadvantage that it cannot hold translations so
well. On the other hand, I haven't seen anyone supply translations to
their pronouns.

In any case, the recommended practice(s) within the existing vocabulary
can be included in the tag library documentation, or it can be dealt
with on the JATS4R level
(https://jats4r.org/authors-and-affiliations<https://jats4r.org/authors-and-a
ffiliations>).
