What are Scopus subject area categories and ASJC codes?

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).
