the date on which a book or periodical is or is planned to be published.

Where is the publication date on a book?

For a book, the date (usually just the year of publication) will be listed on the title page or at the copyright statement on the reverse of the title page.

What is the original date of publication?

The original publication date is the date that displays on the article regardless of the date that it is created in Sitefinity. For example, if you were moving all of your articles from another platform, the date you move them over to Sitefinity is often a different date from when it was originally published.
