All Science Journal Classification(ASJC) lists the major subject areas covered by Scopus abstract indexing. This scheme is used to filter search results from the Scopus database. Classification is done by in-house experts at the moment the serial title is set up for Scopus coverage. Also, the classification is based on the aims and scope of the title, and on the content it publishes.
The complete list of Scopus Subject Areas and All Science Journal Classification Codes (ASJC) is given in the article.
