How are the higher and lower level QS classification categories mapped to ASJC subject areas?
QS uses two sets of QS to ASJC mappings for their classification – one for the top level (also known as the Faulty level) and one for the Subject level (or lower level).
Unlike some other classifications, the top level category is not a roll up of the lower level categories and has its own mapping to the ASJCs. As a result, there are some mapped ASJC codes that appear in lower level categories which are not included in the top level category. This is the reason why some top level categories have fewer articles than the lower level categories.
Why aren't all QS subject areas visible in SciVal?
Some subject areas like Modern languages and Art & Design don't use any explicit Scopus data of 'formal research' in the QS Rankings. They therefore cannot be mapped to an ASJC and are not available as a subject area in the QS classification in SciVal.
However, in the QS academic reputation survey, they ask respondents to nominate institutions producing best research in the selected subject areas, where research stands for not only classic research papers, but also any art-related output (in the case of Performing Arts or Art & Design).
