Journal Brainstorming

Part of the effort towards developing a scientific journal microformat (top level page needs creation for the overall effort) as part of the microformats process:

• journal-examples (links to and analysis of markup of examples must be collected per process)
• journal-formats
• journal-brainstorming

Introduction

This page discusses various thoughts and strawman proposals for a journal microformat.

Background

HTML was developed in a scientific community to help researchers exchange information. However, HTML does not provide any special support for publishing scientific papers. Several XML-based formats offer a vocabulary of elements to publishers of scholarly journals.

Journal efforts are not to be confused with the citation efforts. Journal brainstorming relates to the entire article's markup. Citations may point to such articles.
