fn-type attribute

[Melissa37]

According to the JATS documentation there is a list of 20 recommended fn-type attributes.
At eLife, we have added "other" for use in situations where we have one-off footnotes attached to authors (eg these authors are listed alphabetically). I suggest "Other" is added to the list.

Also, we use it to represent
Clinical trial information
Ethical information

I think these are pretty standard pieces of information now, so I would suggest adding them to the list of attributes recommended, or finding a suitable way to tag them.

Regarding clinical trial information, recommendations will come out of the Threaded Publications Working Group in due course.

Any thoughts?

The footnote may be attached to an author, a table cell, the article as a whole, or some other part of the article. It might be useful to divide the recommended values up according to where they are expected to be used.
