New AGORA Subject Categories are coming!

24 oct 2018

The AGORA Team wishes to inform that, on 25 October 2018, the Subject Categories assigned to journals indexed in AGORA content portal/search database will be expanded from 14 to 46!

The effort to extend the number of AGORA Subject categories aims to make it much easier for AGORA users to find material relevant to their area of study. 

New AGORA subjects will be identified by permanent IDs and match with the related concepts/terms populating FAO-AGROVOC multilingual thesaurus*.

The AGORA Team will keep working to identify and map all available journals under subject categories and will inform you once the new subject categories are successfully implemented!

* You can browse 46 AGROVOC concepts/terms - to be added soon to the AGORA Content Portal – following this AGROVOC SKOSMOS link:
