Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme
The Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme (PACS) is a hierarchical classification for the scientific literature in the fields of physics and astronomy , which was published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP) and is no longer developed. The latest version is the PACS 2010 edition . Both “Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme” and “PACS” are registered trademarks of the AIP.
PACS is based on the internationally agreed classification International Classification Scheme for Physics, which was last published in 1991 by the International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI) . New PACS versions were released by the AIP approximately every two years.
PACS codes have been used in Physical Review since 1975 to identify subject areas and topics. The American Physical Society (APS), the editor of Physical Review , and the American Institute of Physics (AIP) have gone their separate ways to replace PACS:
- AIP has developed AIP Thesaurus , a PACS-based thesaurus .
- APS has developed PhySH - Physics Subject Headings , a facet classification .
For the needs of astronomy, the Unified Astronomy Thesaurus was developed in international cooperation, including AIP .
example
The PACS code 33.15.Ta (for "Mass spectra") is composed as follows:
| 30th | Atomic and Molecular Physics |
| 33. | Molecular properties and interactions with photons |
| 33.15. − e | Properties of molecules |
| 33.15 Ta | Mass spectra |
The PACS hierarchy comprises a total of up to 5 levels.
