This sounds fine, I suggested "Further information" in another mail (the
fact that the further information is publications should be clear from
the content), but both are fine.

I think if possible it would be best to use the content of Cite-as if
available. If it is empty, use the first entry of the Publication field
(like now), and use the other entries for the above "Publication(s):"
fields.
Not sure this is possibly in the current framework, though.
