CABICODES - CABI Subject Classification Codes

(List of codes revised August 2024, removes discontinued Codes and includes Codes added since 2022

In addition to adding index terms to a record, broad concepts or subjects are also “indexed” with a classification system known as CABICODES used to code for subjects that would be difficult to describe with keywords alone. CABICODES divide the subject coverage of the CAB ABSTRACTS database into 25 major sections or subjects. Each subject then includes a series of codes that divides that subject into more specific areas.

Search for content tagged with the relevant codes by entering the six digit code into the CABICODE field in Advanced search. Alternatively search in the main search box using the CC field tag, for example, cc: EE110 to retrieve all records tagged with the Agricultural Economics, EE110 CABICODE.
