<volume>

Volume Number

Number of a journal (or other document) within a series.

Remarks

In JATS journal articles, the volume number element (<volume>) is used both inside the article metadata and inside citations:
  • Inside the article metadata (<article-meta>), the ordinals for a volume number must be placed inside the <volume> element.
  • Inside citations (<mixed-citation> or <element-citation>), a volume number with ordinals can be:
    • inside the volume number: <volume>1<sup>st</sup><volume> or
    • outside the volume number inside the text of a mixed citation: <volume>1<volume><sup>st</sup>.

Related Elements

The related <volume-id> element is used to record an identifier, such as a DOI, that describes an entire volume of a journal or series.
