This field contains codes for one or more countries of publication or production of the item.
Contains a three-character code representing the country in which the item was published or produced. The codes are to be entered according to ISO 3166. The present state of country borders (the codes of present countries) is considered no matter when an item was published. Repeatable if an item is published in more than one country or in more than one locality in the same country.
There is also the code "int" – international organisation included in the code list. The code appears in the process of downloading records from the ISSN database. It is contained in records for serials published by international organisations.
Any subfield b should follow immediately after the subfield a to which it refers. It is recommended that a code be recorded for each place of publication or production present in the field 210.
Due to the fact that in older monographic publications the name and location of the printer are given equal status to those of the publisher or distributor, the country and locality of a printer, publisher or distributor is given here in a coded form. For older monographic publications the country of locality of publication or production is coded according to the present state of country borders.
In subfield 102a the code "xxx" – country unknown is entered (see example 6), when country cannot be defined.
