nec = not elsewhere classified.
a As part of the reclassification of disciplines, some R&D field names have changed. See Technical Notes, Appendix A for details.
NOTES: Imputation rate at total level is lower than imputation rates at detail levels because some institutions could provide totals but not details. Because of rounding, detail may not add to total. Percentages calculated on unrounded numbers.
