What are Scopus subject area categories and ASJC codes?

Last updated on August 15, 2024

Serial titles are classified using the ASJC (All Science Journal Classification) scheme. This is done by in-house experts at the moment the serial title is set up for Scopus coverage; the classification is based on the aims and scope of the title, and on the content it publishes.

For a complete list of ASJC codes, see All Science Journal Classification Codes (ASJC).
