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.

Thank you Dr. Michael W. Marek for your answer. Regards

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!

Thank you Dr. George thomas for providing such informations. Regards

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

Yes of course, it is possible.

I think...

To calculate Index depends on one folder

Because the evaluation is three years prior to one volume
