<volume> Volume Number

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

Usage/Remarks

Ordinals with Volume Numbers: In JATS journal articles, the volume number element (<volume>) is used both inside the article metadata and inside citations. If ordinals for such numbers (“nd”, “st”, etc.) need to be recorded, they may be used with <volume> as follows:
  • Inside the article metadata (<article-meta>), the ordinals for a volume number must be placed inside the <volume> element: <volume>1st</volume>.
  • Inside an element citation (<element-citation>), the ordinals for a volume number must be placed inside the volume number: <volume>1st</volume>.
  • Inside a mixed citation (<mixed-citation>), the ordinals for a volume number may be placed either inside the volume number (as just shown) or outside the volume number: <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.
In the metadata for most articles, there is a single issue number (<issue>) and a single volume number (<volume>) that describe where the article was published. These elements are located directly inside <article-meta>. However, some articles are published in more than one issue or in an issue that has more than one issue number. For these rare cases, a grouping element (<issue-title-group>) has been added, which associates issue title metadata (such as the issue title and subtitle) for a single issue. The element is repeatable to gather the issue title metadata for multiple issues.
There is also a larger-scale grouping element (<volume-issue-group>) to handle 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 volume/issues.
