Author email addresses as author metadata

[jcolomb]

hi,

It is not clear how email address should be added, is this correct :

<contrib-group>
  <name>
    <given-names>Julien</given-names>
    <surname>Colomb</surname>
  </name>
  <contrib-id>0000-0002-3127-5520</contrib-id>
  <author-notes>
    <email>julien.colomb@gmx.ch</email>
  </author-notes>
  <aff>HU Berlin</aff>
  <aff>FU Berlin</aff>
</contrib-group>

(would be nice to have one example with all kind of entries one contributor can have)

Hi @jcolomb

Are you asking JATS4R to tackle this as an issue (ie try and get one way of doing it into a recommendation)?

Or asking for guidance?

If the second, see below!

Have you seen the JATS resource: https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.2/element/email.html

eLife does it like this:

<contrib-group>
                <contrib contrib-type="author">
                    <name>
                        <surname>Harrison</surname>
                        <given-names>Melissa</given-names>
                     </name>
                    <contrib-id contrib-id-type="orcid" authenticated="true">https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3523-4408</contrib-id>                
                    <email>m.harrison@elifesciences.org</email>
                    <xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff1">1</xref>
                </contrib>
</contrib-group>

The PMC guidelines example 1:

<author-notes>
<corresp id="COR1">
*To whom correspondence should be addressed. E-mail:
<email>nkrieger@hsph.harvard.edu</email>
</corresp>
<!--
 note that in the next version of the DTD, label will be allowed in corresp 
-->
<fn id="FN2" fn-type="conflict">
<p>
<bold>Competing Interests:</bold>
The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
</p>
</fn>
<fn id="FN3" fn-type="con">
<p>
<bold>Author Contributions:</bold>
NK conceived and designed the study, interpreted the data, and prepared the manuscript. JTC helped devise the analytic plan, conducted the analyses, and assisted with interpreting the data and preparing the manuscript. BAC advised on the analytic plan, and assisted with analyzing and interpreting the data and with preparing the manuscript. JVS designed the Kaiser Permanente Women Twins Study II, and assisted with interpretation of the data and preparing the manuscript.

You can seek tagging advise from the JATS listserv too if you sign up for it.

But if a JATS4R issue please ping and I'll add it to the roadmap - author emails.

Cheers

I think the main issue for JAT4R is to have more examples for author description, in order to facilitate the use of the recomendations.

But: in your example email is directly under the contrib node, while jats4r seems to indicate it should be in the author-notes child ?

[Melissa37]

@jcolomb I am sorry, I'm a bit confused!
JATS4R has not tackled author emails specifically as an issue. It was not part of the author and affiliations recommendation, so that's why we don't have any examples or details on how to tag it.

PMC guidelines and the JATS documentation are not the same as JATS4R.

JATS4R is a newer organization that is completely voluntary so we work on the priority of what people think needs standardizing (from feedback etc) and how many people can help us form groups to work on that topic - hence why we have so few recommendations as yet!

@jcolomb I've renamed this ticket and added it to the backlog on the roadmap: https://github.com/JATS4R/JATS4R-Participant-Hub/projects/1

Cheers!
