Social science classification for SOFIS and SOLIS

The research projects and publications stored in the databases SOFIS and SOLIS are assigned to at least one sub-discipline (e.g. family sociology, organisational sociology, etc.) or to an interdisciplinary subject area (e.g. women's studies, gerontology) taken from the social science classification. The classification scheme was implemented identically in 1996 for both databases, and then applied retrospectively to earlier years.
