Deprecated: On the element <pub-date>, in the Archiving and Publishing Tag Sets, this @pub-type attribute is deprecated in favor of the @publication-format and @date-type attributes. In all Tag Sets, on the element <issn>, this @pub-type attribute is deprecated in favor of the @publication-format attribute (possibly with the @content-type attribute). Using two attributes enables the expression of both the format/medium and the lifecycle type of the publication instead of forcing the selection of one or the other.
Definition: Deprecated pre-combination of the format/medium
of a document with one or more events from its lifecycle, for example,
epub
for publication in an electronic format or
ppub
for publication in print.
The pre-combination of format, medium, and event in one attribute is a holdover from
previous versions of this Tag Set. In this version of this Tag Set, there are two attributes that can be used to describe the
history dates and publication dates of articles. The @date-type attribute records the type of event in the lifecycle, such as accepted
, published
, or revised
dates. In addition, the @publication-format attribute records the type of format or media to which the event happened, such as
print
. In previous versions of this Tag Set, the two types of information were combined,
so an attribute could say that an article was ecorrected
, meaning that the article was in electronic form and that it was corrected. In this
Tag Set, the attribute @date-type would take the value corrected
and the @publication-format attribute would take the value electronic
to convey the same information.
