1. As an author, I want to be able to see the history dates associated with my article so that I am aware of this information ahead of publication.

Production staff

But what if . . . ?

Considerations

• Standard dates included in this section are:
  • received (the date the article was submitted to a journal)
  • revision received (the date the revised, post-peer review article was received by the journal)
  • accepted (the date the article was accepted for publication)
• eLife does not expect to have to edit these kinds of dates in Texture as they should capture set dates from the submission and review processes.
• Currently, SciELO doesn't pre-publication dates, but it is possible they will in the future.
• Érudti also does not deal with these dates at the moment.

XML requirements

All article submission history information is included in the history element, which is included as a child of the article-meta. This contains the appropriate dates, with the appropriate child elements and values.

<article-meta>
     ...
     <history>
          <date date-type="received" iso-8601-date="2016-03-01">
               <day>01</day>
               <month>03</month>
               <year>2016</year>
          </date>
          <date date-type="accepted" iso-8601-date="2016-04-01">
               <day>01</day>
               <month>04</month>
               <year>2016</year>
          </date>
     </history>
     ...
</article-meta>

SciELO example, which includes a revised date (iso-date attribute is not included in this example, but SciELO are happy for this to be mandated):

...
<history>
     <date date-type="received">
          <day>20</day>
          <month>10</month>
          <year>2014</year>
     </date>
     <date date-type="rev-recd">
          <day>06</day>
          <month>12</month>
          <year>2014</year>
     </date>
     <date date-type="accepted">
          <day>14</day>
          <month>07</month>
          <year>2015</year>
     </date>
</history>
