Punctuation (commas, Slashes and Hyphens). Generally, separate volume numbers and internal numbers with a comma (CONSER practice).  Other modifications in punctuation are made in transcribing the numbering as it appears on the issue, for example, transcribing compound years and double issues. Substituting a slash for the hyphen that is commonly found on such issues will produce a more intelligible designation, particularly once it is closed off.
