Notes

¹ Sidorova et al. (2008) also provide a 100-factor classification, which is more akin to a list of topics (the authors call them “themes”) than a list of subdisciplines, and a five-factor classification, which the authors call “research areas,” which are too broad to be considered sub-disciplines.
