Table of contents tagging

Leader tagging

HighWire have confirmed that we can use “leader” tagging on an ad hoc basis to give a specific label to certain articles. We already use this tagging on RSOB and the Trans titles, but now we can choose as and when to use them on the research journals, and what to call the labels. As a result, using the same labels over a number of issues will allow us to build cross-issue subsections, which is a useful feature.

For example, if you would like to have a “headline review” within a section of review articles in each Interface issue, we can now use the leader tag to do this. Any such labels will automatically appear in alerts as a result of the alerts 1.5 roll out last month.

In practice, the following XML in a Proc B article:

<subj-group subj-group-type="heading">

<subject>Review articles</subject>

</subj-group>

<subj-group subj-group-type="leader">

<subject>Darwin review</subject>

</subj-group>

Gives this label:

Subsection headings

We can now add subsection headings to an issue by sending a TOC manifest with the content. Within the TOC manifest the XML tagging should look like this:

<TocSection>

<Heading>Special feature</Heading>

<Caption position="over">Brain evolution</Caption>

<Caption position="over">Guest edited by Tom V. Smulders</Caption>

<Resource><DOI>10.1098/rsbl.2008.0687</DOI></Resource>

Which will result in a TOC page like this:

Note that if you want “Guest edited by...” to appear under “Brain evolution”, the caption position should be changed to “top” so that it displays at the top of the subsection, rather than over it. For all CP journals a TOC manifest needs to be sent every time we upload a batch of content, so it will be possible to add a subsection heading to a CP issue at any point where content is uploaded – just make sure that Techset include the subsection heading in that TOC manifest and any subsequent manifests that are uploaded within the same issue. For non-CP titles – Notes & Rec and Biog Mems – a single TOC manifest will need to be uploaded with the issue.

Royal Society Open Science publishes chemistry articles in collaboration with the RSC. All RSC articles are published under the Chemistry TOC section. The TOC section should be tagged in the TOC manifest file as follows:

<TocSection>

<Heading>Chemistry</Heading>

<Caption position="over">

Published in collaboration with the Royal Society of Chemistry

</Caption>

Author tagging

Collaborations

Investigators (also known as collaborators in PubMed) are individuals who contribute to a scientific article but are not authors. The group name author should be placed in the <Author> tags, and the investigators’ names should be included by using the <IndividualName> tag within a <GroupName> tag. Please see an example of the XML tagging below:

<AuthorList>

<Author>

<CollectiveName>Cancer Genome Center</CollectiveName>

</Author>

<Author>

<CollectiveName>North American Barley Genome Project</CollectiveName>

</Author>

</AuthorList>

<GroupList>

<Group>

<GroupName>Cancer Genome Project</GroupName>

<IndividualName>

<FirstName>John</FirstName>

<LastName>Smith</LastName>

</IndividualName>

<IndividualName>

<FirstName>Jane</FirstName>

<LastName>Smith</LastName>

</IndividualName>

</Group>

<Group>

<GroupName>North American Barley Genome Project</GroupName>

<IndividualName>

<FirstName>John Jacob</FirstName>

<LastName>Han</LastName>

</IndividualName>

<IndividualName>

<FirstName>Laura</FirstName>

<LastName>Clancy</LastName>

</IndividualName>

</Group>

</GroupList>

Please note that a group name author (a collective name author, e.g., a study group name) must exist in the bibliographic citation data in order for investigator names to be supplied in the <GroupList> section. Investigator names should be listed in the order in which they appear in the full-text article.

Collective authors

A Collective Author Name, the name of the authoring committee or organization, should be included by using the <CollectiveName> tag within an <Author> tag. Here is an example of a PubMed citation with a Collective Author Name (as well as an individual Author name):

Lawrence WT; Plastic Surgery Educational Fourndation DATA Committee. .

Arnica.

Plast Reconstr Surg. 2003 Sep 15;112(4):1164-6. No abstract available.

PMID: 12973238 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

This is the tagging for the same citation as it appears in the XML file:

<AuthorList>

<Author>

<FirstName>W.</FirstName>

<MiddleName>Thomas</MiddleName>

<LastName>Lawrence</LastName>

</Author>

<Author>

<CollectiveName>Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation DATA Committee</CollectiveName>

</Author>

</AuthorList>
