En français, il existe une distinction entre les «périodiques» qui sont des publications paraissant en série continue, sous un même titre, et les «publications en série» qui ne paraissent pas nécessairement à intervalles réguliers. «Serial», pris dans son sens générique, inclut les deux types de publications. Il faudra donc parfois traduire par «publication en série» ou «périodique» selon le contexte. 2, record 1, French, - publication%20en%20s%C3%A9rie
