Name of one subject or topic used to describe an article. Such topics and groupings of topics are typically used to provide headings for groups of articles in a printed, or online, generated Table of Contents or for running heads.
Subject Groupings: Articles may be 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 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>
