<floats-group>

Floats Group

A container element to hold the figures and tables that occur within an article. The <floats-group> collects all these figures and tables together at the end of the article rather than interspersing them throughout the various parts of the document where they are referenced.

Remarks

The <floats-group> element is not part of the narrative flow of an article; rather, it holds the figures and tables used in the body, back matter, etc. Sub-articles (<sub-article>) may contain their own floats groups to hold their figures and tables.

Related Elements

A journal article <article> may be divided into several components:

  1. the <front> (the article metadata or header information, which contains both journal and article metadata);
  2. the <body> (the textual and graphical content of the article);
  3. any <back> (any ancillary information such as a glossary, reference list, or appendix);
  4. a <floats-group> (single container element that holds all the figures and tables that are referenced in the article body or back matter); and
  5. a series of <sub-article> elements. (Sub-articles are articles such as news pieces, abstracts, or committee reports that are completely contained within a main article.)
