SciJoIn XML Documentation

SciJoin's Schema XML Documentation is very simple, as is the entire indexing process. The elements required in this first version are:

• head > journal, issn
• article > title, year, volume, issue, abstract, language, resource, doi,
  • authors > author

Below is the basic scheme to be adopted when importing and registering articles in the SciJoIn database.

This schema determines allowable xml file formats for upload into the SciJoIn database.
    This schema is based in DOAJ Schema v1.3 and CrossRef v4.3.6

	<abstract>The occurrence of the genera Aspidoglossa Putzeys, 1846, Paraclivina Kult, 1947, Oxydrepanus Putzeys, 1867, Pyramoides Bousquet, 2002, Semiardistomis Kult, 1950, Semiclivina Kult, 1947, Stratiotes Putzeys, 1846, and Whiteheadiana Perrault, 1994 is recorded for the first time for Brazilian caves. The specimens are deposited at the zoological collection of the Laboratório de Estudos Subterrâneos at Universidade Federal de São Carlos (LES) and are stored dipped in ethanol. A map and photographs of specimens of the genera are provided, as well as the specific records of their geographical distribution in caves.</abstract>
