What happens to journals coded to two-digit FoRs?
Some journals which cover a broad spread of a discipline will be coded to the two-digit FoR code (e.g. 02 – Physical Sciences). The ARC will map cited and citing references from these articles to determine the four-digit FoR code assignment of individual articles published in journals assigned to a two-digit FoR. This is a methodology used by citation data providers to map articles in multidisciplinary journals to subject category.
