<edition>

Edition Statement

This element is defined and used differently in NISO STS than it is in JATS. Therefore, since the NISO STS Tag Sets inherit many JATS elements, the <edition> element has two different contexts with two different meanings.

Remarks

Edition Content: The content of this element may be a simple edition number (such as “<edition>3</edition>” or “<edition>A</edition>”). More complex edition statements may contain a textual statement (“Third print edition revised”), the edition number as an ordinal (“3rd” or “3rd edition”), or superscripted ordinals (“4<sup>th</sup>” or “4<sup>th</sup> digital edition”).
Whether or not the <edition> content is more than a simple number, the @designator attribute of this element (unrelated to standards designations) can be used to hold the simple numerical or alphabetic edition number (<edition designator="3">3rd French Edition reprinted</edition>).
