Research Fields Classification - TSV

Research Fields Classification is a framework for systematically categorizing academic disciplines such as natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and engineering. Research institutions and international organizations in various countries have developed their own classification systems, including UNESCO, the Australian Research Council (ARC), and the German Research Foundation (DFG). These classifications are widely used for research funding allocation, academic evaluation, library classification, database construction, and international research comparisons. In recent years, the importance of interdisciplinary fields such as digital humanities and computational social sciences has increased, and there is a trend toward more flexible boundaries between traditional classifications.
