Research Areas (Categories / Classification)

Research areas constitute a subject categorization scheme that is shared by all Web of Science product databases. As a result, you can identify, retrieve and analyze documents from multiple databases that pertain to the same subject.

Every Chinese Library Classification Number is mapped to at least one research area. Library classification numbers do not appear in full records in CSCD. Only research areas are shown.
