GIPP Research Areas
A very broad categorization. The GIPP scheme comprises six broad disciplines but covers all fields of scholarly research. The GIPP scheme is based on an aggregation of the Web of Science subject categories and contains significant overlap between disciplines.
The mapping of WoS subject area to GIPP category must be reviewed periodically because WoS subject areas may change from one year to the next. The WoS subject area GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY is new to WoS for 2016, and it has been mapped as follows:
|
WoS Subject Area |
GIPP Classification |
|---|---|
|
GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY |
Engineering & Technology |
|
GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY |
OVERALL |
Mapping of the Web of Science scheme to the GIPP scheme is available in the Appendix (GIPP subject mapping table) .
Research Area Scheme Selection and Total Results
Each Research Area scheme maps uniquely to the research areas/journals established with the Web of Science Core Collection. For that reason, document totals within the results table will not necessarily correspond to the same total displayed when Web of Science is selected. You can view how categories relate to those in Web of Science Core Collection by viewing the mappings included in each of the Research Area descriptions.
