Amount of heat required to change the temperature of one unit of mass by one unit of temperature:

Specific Heat Capacity depends on the way the heat is transferred and as such is not a table property of the matter.

The two major heat transfer processes are isobaric and isohoric which define:

Both $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}c_{mp}\end{array} //]]>$ and $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}c_{mV}\end{array} //]]>$ are characterising the properties of matter and properly tabulated for the vast majority of materials.

Specific Heat Capacity relates to Volumetric Heat Capacity  $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}c_v\end{array} //]]>$ and density of the matter  $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}\rho\end{array} //]]>$ as:

In many technical papers the "m" or "v"  index  is omitted which leads to confusion between  Specific Heat Capacity  $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}c_v\end{array} //]]>$ and Volumetric Heat Capacity  $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}c_v\end{array} //]]>$.

The other confusion is made between Volumetric Heat Capacity  $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}c_v\end{array} //]]>$ and Isohoric Heat Capacity $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}c_V\end{array} //]]>$.
