XML-packages received from Editorial Manager provide information about the "history" of the article. When was it received? When was it reviewed, accepted and published? Such information should be included in the XML-package, using the history-element. Including in the PDF is decided upon per journalstrongly recommended in light of A&I services' requirements. Within the history element, multiple dates can be specified, using the attribute date-type to specify the meaning of the date-element. The following options for date-type are accepted (most frequently used are marked with a colored background):
| value date-type | meaning |
|---|---|
| received | Date that article was received |
| initial decision | Date that initial decision was taken on article |
| rev-request | The date revisions were requested. There may be more than one @date-type with this value |
| rev-recd | Date that a revised version of the article was received. There may be more than one @date-type with this value |
| accepted | Date that article was accepted in journal |
| pub | The publication date (online or print) |
| preprint | Preprint dissemination date (online or print) |
| version-of-record | Date that the version of record of the article was published (online or print) |
| retracted | The date an article was retracted |
| corrected | The date an article was corrected |
For articles that are not submitted through Editorial Manager, this information is in general not available. If provided in another way, the information can be included as well in the XML and - if applicable - PDF. The journal compositor shall first check whether these dates (i.e., Received and Accepted) have been submitted as part of the metadata with the article. If not there, they are kindly asked to place a so-called author query (AQ) in the styled author proof.
