What are volume and issue numbers?
Answer
In relation to periodicals, volume refers to all the issues of a specific journal or magazine for a limited time period, usually one year. For books, volume indicates the order of a book in a series or set.
In a quarterly, periodical, newsletter, or literary journal, the volume number refers to the number of years a journal has been in publication, while the issue number refers to the number of individual publications during the year.
You must provide exact volume and issue numbers when creating citations. Without this information, readers will not be able to easily locate your source.
