Academic Journal Categories - INI

Academic journal classification systems are essential frameworks that enable the organization and discovery of scholarly publications. Web of Science (Clarivate) employs 254 subject categories, while Scopus (Elsevier) uses the ASJC (All Science Journal Classification) system with 27 major subject areas and 334 sub-categories. These classifications serve as the foundation for researchers to select appropriate journals and conduct academic evaluations.
