Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'serial' (issued in successive parts) combined with 'publication' (a distributed printed or digital work) yields a publication issued in a series or at regular intervals. This noun–noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would very likely infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Serial publication comes from the idea of a serial, or 'series'—things published one after another, like numbered magazine issues. Picture a row of magazine or journal copies with the next number and date; that's why serial publication means a magazine or journal that comes out at regular times.
