Description
JATS 1.3 version (ANSI/NISO Z39.96-2021) is the latest voted release of ANSI/NISO standard JATS. This current committee draft version (JATS 1.4d1 2024) is fully backward compatible with JATS 1.3 (2021), as well as with JATS 1.0 (2012), JATS 1.1 (2015), and JATS 1.2 (2019). Any document valid to JATS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, OR 1.3 will be valid to the JATS 1.4d1 Committee Draft of the same JATS Tag Set.
Changes to JATS 1.3 to produce JATS 1.4d1 were made in response to user comments on the previous JATS versions. These are incremental changes, adding new functionality such as multi-lingual documents, new collaboration naming elements, and the latest release of the NISO Access License and Indicators (ALI).
