Element or context:
<contrib>
Requirements:
- Group all authors into a single <contrib-group> with attribute 'content-type' set to "authors". Do not set each author in a separate <contrib-group> element
- Contain each author within an individual <contrib> element with attribute 'contrib-type' set to "author"
- After each <contrib> except for the final, contain a comma and a space inside an <x> element
- If an author is a corresponding author, then set the attribute 'corresp' to "yes"
- Do not include <contrib-id> at this time, even if the ORCID is available
- The name of the author should go in <string-name name-style="western">, where the surname is within <surname> and the given names are within <given-names> (see the example below); include a space between <given-names> and <surname>
- Set attribute 'initials' on <given-names> and <surname>to the intitals for the author's given names and surname, respectively (see the example, below)
- N.B. If the author is a collaborative group, such as an institution or working group, then contain the collaborator within <collab> (see the second instance of <contrib> in the example, below)
- Place the affiliation(s) of the author (<aff>) inside the <contrib> for that author
- If the author has an email address, set it within <email> and place this after <aff>
- If there is a footnote on the author, include the cross-link to it using an <xref> element within the author's <contrib> tag. Set the attribute 'rid' on <xref> to the id of the footnote (see <fn>), and set the attribute 'ref-type' on <xref> to "author-fn".
