Citation Styles by Publication Type

We present here only a collection of models of the most frequently cited types of publication, with the structure and rules that we require in our editions. If it is necessary to cite a work that is not listed here, see other models offered by the TEI-C.

The tag that indicates all bibliographic references is <bibl>, and it contains tags such as <author> (author), <editor> (editors, commentators and translators), <date> (publication date), <title> (title of book, article, journal, etc.),<edition> (reeditions and editions starting from the second one), <pubPlace> (place of publication), <biblScope> (page ranges, no. of volume, etc.), <idno> (numerical identifiers), etc.

Each of these tags can carry different attributes, indicating, for example, the kind of title it is (a book, an article, a journal, a collection, etc.), or what kind of identifying number it is (DOI, URL, ISBN, etc.). We need to indicate them in all contexts.

Types

The function that they fulfil is indicated with @role:

  • @role="ed." or @role="eds.": editor or editors.
  • @role="trad." or @role="trads.": translator or translators.
  • @role="comm.": commentator or commentators.
  • These can be combined as necessary: @role="ed., trad., comm."

  • @level="j" (journal). Any serial or periodical publication, such as a magazine, journal or newspaper.
  • @level="s" (series). A series of publications, collection, etc.
  • @level="u" (unpublished). Unpublished material, including unpublished doctoral theses, conference presentations, etc., which have not been published. 

Types of

  • @unit="vol" (volume). Volume number of a journal, multi-volume book, etc.
  • @unit="pp" (pages). Range of pages cited, or pages occupied by an article, book chapter, etc.
