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

c_m = \frac{\delta Q}{\delta m \cdot \delta T} |
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
and
are characterising the properties of matter and properly tabulated for the vast majority of materials.
Specific Heat Capacity relates to Volumetric Heat Capacity as:

c_m = \rho \cdot c_v |
In many technical papers the "m" or "v" index is omitted which leads to confusion between Specific Heat Capacity relates to Volumetric Heat Capacity .
The other confusion is made between Volumetric Heat Capacity and Isohoric Heat Capacity .
