Discipline Categories
for the Journal of the
American Scientific Affiliation
and Perspectives on
Science and Christian Faith

This list includes all the (approximately 94) entries that may be found in the ASA Journal data base fields "Disciplines". Searches of these keywords are not case-sensitive, so capital letters need not be typed. In the usual "scan across" search, only enough of the desired keyword need be entered to distinguish it from all others.

Discipline categories are limited to actual occupations for which people can be employed. This has admittedly given the list a somewhat "professional" bias. In some cases these words may also appear in the keyword data lists as well as the discipline field, so you may wish to specify these words in keyword searches.

The on-line version of the database will be searched for these keywords by clicking on the hyperlinked keyword.
