Serial_(publishing)
Serial (publishing)
Literary or other works with same title issued in successive parts
In publishing and library and information science, the term serial is applied to materials "in any medium issued under the same title in a succession of discrete parts, usually numbered (or dated) and appearing at regular or irregular intervals with no predetermined conclusion."[1]
This includes the literary serial, where a story is published in several parts, but also all kinds of periodicals such as magazines and journals.
