I suppose that anything is possible, but I believe that the standard procedure is one volume per year, often with more than one issue per volume.
It may be that many decades ago, this was less standard, so that very old journal archives may have more variation.
Normally, all the journal issues published in a year form one volume. However, some journals group their issues into more volumes per year depending on the number of issues brought out per year. For example, Nature (weekly journal) has 12 volumes, one volume for each month. Another popular weekly journal Science has 4 volumes , each volume consisting of issues pertaining to 3 months. Note that periodicity of journal issues can be weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, or even annual!
Hi,
The journals' publishers together with the editor can establish the frequency of the journals' issues' appearance. Sometimes the number of papers sent and received by the journal exceeds the size of one volume, so it is possible to publish a second volume in the same year.
The periodicity of a journal is established by the editors of a journal, this is independent if it is indexed or not in Scopus or in WoS. One of the requirements for a magazine to be indexed in Scopus is to have at least one volume per year. Many magazines for their discipline, thematic area and public administration only one number per year, some up to twelve (one per month). You just have to find the magazine that best suits you. You can search here for all the journals that are indexed in Scopus https://www.scimagojr.com/
Yes, it's possible. There are such scientific journals.
Best wishes
It depends of the editor most of then are 1 article per year
ingrid
I think...
To calculate Index depends on one folder
Because the evaluation is three years prior to one volume
This Scopus indexed journal published more than 6 volumes in 2019. Scopus has no problem with this: https://www.ijicc.net/index.php/ijicc-editions
Yes definitely, it depends on the number of submitted articles, and how the publisher manage their journals
Volumes and Issues specification/periodicity for a particular journal depends on the modus operandi of the journal. Scopus only care about consistency and quality.
Hi,
The number of volumes per year published by a journal is decided by the publisher of this journal.
