In publishing or 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." ^*

A periodical is a type of serial, defined as a "publication with its own distinctive title, containing a mix of articles ... by more than one contributor, issued ... at regular stated intervals of less than a year, without prior decision as to when the final issue will appear." ^* This includes magazines and journals, but not proceedings.

magazines and newspapers are commonly viewed as the most typical type of periodical (although technically newspapers are not classified as periodicals). ^* Other serials, periodicals and journals produced by scientific, artistic, academic or special interest publishers are often subscription-only, costly, narrowly limited in circulation, and have little or no advertising. Also see academic publishing and scientific journals.
