Container element for elements that may be used to group articles into related clusters, e.g., by subject matter or by series (For intended use, see Remarks below.)
Subject Groupings: In some journals, articles are grouped into categories called subject groupings <subj-group>, and the category is shown in the article’s display heading and/or in the Table of Contents. The grouping or category (tagged as a <subject> inside a <subj-group>) may refer to the type of article or type of subject, for example, an article could be associated with any of the following categories:
In some printed journals, as well as online sites such as the PubMed Central website, articles are grouped or arranged under these subject headings (here is all the Poetry, here are all the Practice Reviews, etc.).
These subjects can be nested, with articles under three layers of grouping, or two, and some with only one. For example, a one-level grouping might be:
<subj-group> <subject>Articles</subject> </subj-group>
or, as another example:
<subj-group> <subject>Poetry</subject> </subj-group>
And a two-level grouping might look like this:
<subj-group> <subject>Articles</subject> <subj-group> <subject>Other Topics</subject> </subj-group> </subj-group>
or, as another example:
<subj-group> <subject>Special Section</subject> <subj-group> <subject>Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer’s Caregiver Health (REACH)s</subject> </subj-group> </subj-group>
(subj-group*, series-title*, series-text?)
