• 003: Use organization code 'UkOxBAR'.
• 020: eISBNs should be in subfield $a; print ISBNs must be in subfield $z.
• For the formats in subfield $q, we recommend the following controlled vocabulary:

• 024: Include this field with the DOI in subfield $a and the designator 'doi' in subfield $2. The value of the First Indicator must be '7'.
  • The DOI is the value in 856$u minus 'https://doi.org/'.
