Format or medium of the document (for example, print
). This
element is used in several senses:
to describe the format/medium for a publication date or other lifecycle date such as an acceptance date or a revision date,
to describe the format/medium for an ISSN or ISBN, and
to name the format/medium of the document being cited as part of a bibliographic reference.
For use in Dates: In this Tag Set, there are two attributes that can be used to describe history dates
and publication dates. 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, for example, print
or electronic
, to which the event happened.
