<volume-issue-group>

Volume Issue Grouping

A grouping element to hold related volume and issue elements

Remarks

In most journals, there is a single volume number and a single issue number. This element handles the rare cases where an article has been published as part of more than one volume/issue pair. This element keeps related volume and issue information together, and is allowed to repeat to describe multiple volumes.
