Many XML processing applications (such as our Highwire Online platforms) do not process XML with the BOM Marker in place. Files including a BOM marker cannot be loaded. Existence of the marker should be avoided. XML-editors offer different options for avoiding the BOM-marker in the output. in Oxygen for example it is possible to set the in Preferences->"Encoding" the "UTF-8 BOM handling" to "Don't Write". In case of a file with a BOM-marker, the file should be saved again after making this change in the Preferences.

Citations

The for For the reference section at the end of an article or chapter, the <mixed-citation> element is used. When properly tagged, a DOI to the cited publication will be added, resulting from a CrossRef search. The following guidelines should be taken into account for the tagging within the <mixed-citation>-element:

...

<abstract xml:lang="eng">
	<p>The edible insect ... inflammatory obesity alterations.</p>
	<p><fig position="float" orientation="portrait">
			<graphic xlink:href="ga_jiff2022.0043.jpg" position="float" orientation="portrait"/>
		</fig></p>
</abstract>

The online result is visible in JIFF Volume 9 - issue 2.
