Biosystematic Classification or Super Taxa Name (BC=). Biosystematic codes are five-digit codes that represent higher taxonomic categories of organisms discussed in a source document such as phylum, class, order, or family. A code is assigned for each organism. Each biosystematic code appears with the corresponding biosystematic name. Multiple codes are assigned to citations to identify all organisms studied. Biosystematic Codes are indexed as a complete phrase and can be selected using BC= prefix:

?SELECT BC=86215
      S1 4288723  BC=86215  HOMINIDAE

?TYPE S1/BC

Biosystematic Codes:

If the form of entry in the BC= index is unknown, use the EXPAND command to verify the form of entry. The appropriate entry can be selected from the index, e.g.,

?EXPAND BC=85825

Truncation may be used to retrieve a range of codes that begin with the same digits, e.g., SELECT BC=751?. However, some biosystematic code number ranges may include more than one category of organisms and some categories of organisms may be defined by more than one group of biosystematic codes.

BIOSYSTEMATIC NAME (BN=). BIOSIS identifies the major taxonomic categories by name as well as by numeric code. They are phrase-indexed. A particular phylum, class, order, or family of organisms, fossils, or other paleontological subjects may be SELECTed directly by using the BN= prefix, e.g.,

?SELECT BN=HAMAMELIDACEAE
      S4    1154  BN=HAMAMELIDACEAE

?TYPE S4/TI,BC

CONCEPT CODE (CC=). The concept code index includes approximately 600 five-digit codes representing broad subject concepts in the fields of biological and biomedical sciences. Multiple codes are assigned to items to assure representation of each concept discussed in the orginal article. Concept Codes are indexed as a complete phrase and can be selected using CC= prefix:

?SELECT CC=22014

Reliability of Evaluation for Communication Competency in Pharmaceutical 
Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)

Concept Codes:
  04500 Mathematical biology and statistical methods
  07006 Behavioral biology - Animal communication
  10515 Biophysics - Biocybernetics

Concept codes have been cascaded to the three-digit level for broad retrieval. SELECTing a three-digit code retrieves all five-digit codes that begin with the specified three digits. For example, SELECT CC=240 retrieves all codes covering Neoplasms, including all subheadings such as CC=24007 (Neoplasms – Carcinogens and Carcinogenesis) and CC=24008 (Neoplasms – Therapeutic Agents and Therapy).


A concept code may be SELECTed in combination with subject terms or Biosystematic Codes or names to define a search topic, e.g.,

?S CELL?(W)BIOLOGY/DE AND CC=02502
         2230040  CELL?/DE
