2 New Fields

Label Field Name What's New
AR Article Number The Article Number field (AR) is a specific identifier, which may be used to cite/link to/search for electronic and paper documents. It is not the DOI/PII or Report Number. Usually, the article number is used in place of page numbers for electronic documents; they can also be used for printed journals. The article number field consists of an alphanumeric character string that is assigned to a document by the publisher. The article number will never change. It is a medium for citing/linking to/searching for articles when these do not contain the complete bibliographic information, or it is simply additional information. Th AR field usually displays as part of the Source (SO) field.
EI Electronic ISSN The Electronic ISSN (EI) field contains the Electronic International Standard Serial Number (EISSN) for the journal in which an article was published. It appears as an 8-digit number, separated by a hyphen: 0028-4793. The field will be populated with data in July 2005.

Complete details on new and changed fields are available in the Field Guide. If you have any questions contact your Ovid Support Representative at support@ovid.com.
