Sciences include bioscience, chemistry, mathematics, and physics, as well as the wide array of sub-topics within those areas.

Note that the term "life sciences" is often used interchangeably with biosciences, although the area is a subset of bioscience that focuses on areas related to human health and disease. The category of life science is evolving into an area between science and medicine publishing. For this report, life sciences is included within scientific publishing, although it might evolve toward the medical category in the future.

The technology subject area encompasses upper-level computer science, and all fields of engineering, including architecture, civil, electrical, electronics, and mechanical engineering, and the sub-topics within those areas.
