Value not loading on Posts page

I used the guide I found on this page to write this code:

<?php if(the_field('publication', get_option('page_for_posts')))
		{
		 echo ' / '.the_field('publication', get_option('page_for_posts'));
         }
	?>

It works, in that it pulls the publication name to the Blog page. What does not work, no matter how I try it, is getting any text before the Publication name. As you can see in my code, I am attempting to put a ” / ” before the publication name. The slash is not showing. Nor is anything I try and echo. Am I doing the If statement wrong?

You need to use get_field. the_field echos the content of the field

<?php if(get_field('publication', get_option('page_for_posts')))
		{
		 echo ' / '.get_field('publication', get_option('page_for_posts'));
         }
	?>
