Thank you, Ella. A very good and relevant question! In the grouping of different fields we used the categorization presented by Scopus. Similar kinds of categories are used in other citation datebases.
Please, if you have any further questions, feel free to post here or by email.

Thank you for this report.
Could you clarify what the difference between the “agriculture and biological sciences” and “environmental science” described above and your reference to “biology” and “ecology” in the last section of this article.
Thanks!
