4-digit UNESCO Nomenclature
![]() | This article does not cite any sources. (August 2009) |
UNESCO Nomenclature (more properly UNESCO nomenclature for fields of science and technology) is a system developed by UNESCO for classification of research papers and doctoral dissertations. There are three versions of the system, offering different levels of refinement through 2-, 4-, and 6-digit codes. This article describes the 4-digit nomenclature.
