<contrib-group>

Contributor Group

Container element used to group contributors by their role in the creation and publication of the article, for example, primary authors, editors, sponsors, translators, illustrators, etc.

The <contrib-group> element should not be confused with the <collab> element, which is used for groups of authors, editors, etc. who are credited under a single name, either as a collaboration in the strictest sense, or when an organization, institution, or corporation is given as a contributor.

Remarks

The @content-type attribute should be used to name the type of contribution, using one of the values listed below. The values will be enforced by Schematron rules.

primary-authors

contains the individuals (<contrib>) or groups (<collab>) who created and are responsible for the article content.

Note. Journal editors can also act as primary authors, for example, when they write an editorial or an introduction. In such cases, suppliers should identify the editor as a primary author, not as a journal editor.

journal-editors

The primary editor(s) of record at the time an issue or item is published. The journal-editor <contrib-group> should be included in the xml for every item in an issue, including the non-article content such as covers, advertisements, and announcements.

Note. At this time, suppliers are not expected to include the journal-editors <contrib-group> in the xml they create for APA. This information will always be added to the xml by APA itself.

special-issue-editors

Individuals other than the journal Editor(s) of record who are explicitly identified as editors of a special issue. For special issues, the special-issue-editors <contrib-group> is included in the xml for every item in an issue, including the non-article content.

Note. When guest editors are also the authors of an introduction or a full-fledged article within the special issue, suppliers should capture them in the primary-authors <contrib-group> and in the special-issue-editor <contrib-group>.

special-section-editors

Individuals other than the journal Editor(s) of record who are explicitly identified as editors of a special section. For special sections, the special-section-editors <contrib-group> is included in the xml for only those articles included in the special section.

Note. When special-section editors are also the authors of an introduction or a full-fledged article within the special section, suppliers should capture them in the primary-authors <contrib-group> and in the special-section-editor <contrib-group>.

section-editors

Individuals who manage the review process or pull together material for a regular section or column within a journal. The section-editors <contrib-group> is included in the xml for every item in that particular section or column.
