Type - mapping incoming Type
Nearly all articles are assigned the Type Journal Article when they first appear in PubMed.
Note that in PubMed, the Type is not always case sensitive; they have JOURNAL ARTICLE and Journal Article.
Remember that we are ignoring the various Research Support entries in the PubMed PublicationTypeList XML tag, an example of which is shown below:
<PublicationTypeList> <PublicationType>Journal Article</PublicationType> <PublicationType>Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't</PublicationType> </PublicationTypeList>
Initial entry: If PublicationType value = Journal Article only, take Journal Article.
Initial entry: If PublicationType value = Journal Article plus one or more additional values from the list below, take only the value(s) from the list below.
After indexing (STATUS=MEDLINE), if PublicationType value = Journal Article only, keep Journal Article.
After indexing (STATUS=MEDLINE), if PublicationType value = Journal Article plus one or more additional values from the list below, replace Journal Article with the value(s) from the list below.

If the PublicationType tag does not have any of these values, then assign Type Other.
In these cases, we'll have to check to see if we need to add a new Type to our list.
Meeting_abstract, Gazette_abstract, Book_chapter, and Book will be assigned as these Types are entered into postgres.
