JATS4R is a volunteer-run organisation that produces recommendations for how people should use the Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS XML) to aid the exchange, reuse, and mining of content. This paper briefly describes this overlay to the NISO Standard Z39.96-2019 which itself defines a set of XML elements and attributes for tagging journals articles and provides three models. JATS4R brings a level of normalization to the use of the basic standard to ensure interoperability across vendors. This paper discusses what JATS4R does, how the standard is maintained and updated, what the oversight group has achieved since it was established in 2013, and what the future may hold.
