Identifies the primary publishing organization for the research product. Requires type attribute from OrganizationTypeEnum and primaryIndicator set to 'Yes'. Level One excludes ContactInfo child elements.
Describes an organization related to the research item. Multiple organizations may be related to one research item. These organizations can be subsidiaries of the same parent or different organizations (as in a joint venture) working together on a publication or event. However, there can only be one primary publisher organization, which is captured by the primaryIndicator, when contained by the Source element.
Usage
Required element within Source, appearing exactly once. Must have type and primaryIndicator='Yes' attributes. Contains OrganizationID, OrganizationName, and optional PersonGroup elements.
Business Context
Essential for publisher identification and categorization, enabling research consumers to filter and organize content by institutional source and organizational characteristics.
