Possible error in citation MODS form

[Josh]

Good morning,

I'm looking at the default citation MODS form and I noticed that it puts the "part" element outside of the "relatedItem" element. If you look at https://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/userguide/examples.html#journal_article you see the "part" element is inside of the "relatedItem" element.

Are there are any MODS experts out there who could let me know which way is the correct way?

Thanks

The citation MODS form produces the following:

Hi Josh,

<part> can legally go both at the top level and in a related item.  But I think that it most cases  covered by the citation item, people would want it in the related item.  Otherwise you would want to put the journal title in <titleInfo> and the article title inside <part><detail><title>.  The examples at the bottom of this page provide pretty good guidance. http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/userguide/part.html

I hope this helps.

Brian

Thanks Brian,

I think for my purposes I want to put the part inside the relatedItem. I will open a JIRA ticket to see if there is interest in making that a permanent change as well.
