Types of Sources

The Office Open XML formats support a collection of predefined source types for bibliography entries based on the categories most commonly used in various citation and bibliography style guidelines . The set of predefined source types can be extended as needed. The recommended approach for extending this set is to use the Misc type, and then leverage the methods described in Part 5 of this standard for extending the format with new attributes or elements. The following types of sources are predefined:

• Book (Book)

• BookSection (Book Section)

• JournalArticle (Journal Article)

• MagOrNewsArticle (Magazine or Newspaper Article)

• ConferenceProceedings (Conference Proceedings)

• Report (Report)
