月げっ刊かんN1
月刊 refers to a monthly publication, whereas 季刊 refers to one issued only four times a year, so the two are often confused when talking about periodical frequency.
週しゅう刊かんN1
週刊 means a weekly publication, while 季刊 means a much less frequent quarterly one, so learners can mix up which term matches which schedule.
日にっ刊かんN1
日刊 describes something published daily, in contrast to 季刊 which comes out only once every three months.

Compound of 季 (ki, 'season') and 刊 (kan, 'publish'). The meaning 'quarterly publication' is transparent from its components.
