Abstract
The Journal of Economic Literature codes classification system (JEL) published by the American Economic Association (AEA) is the de facto standard classification system for research literature in economics. The JEL classification system is used to classify articles, dissertations, books, book reviews, and working papers in EconLit, a database maintained by the AEA. Over time, it has evolved and extended to a system with over 850 subclasses. This paper reviews the history and development of the JEL classification system, describes the current version, and provides a selective overview of its uses and applications in research. The JEL codes classification system has been adopted by several publishers, and their instructions are reviewed. There are interesting avenues for future research as the JEL classification system has been surprisingly little used in existing bibliometric and scientometric research as well as in library classification systems.
美国经济学会(AEA)出版的《经济文献学报》(Journal of Economic Literature)代码分类系统(JEL)是事实上的经济学研究文献标准分类系统。JEL分类系统用于对AEA维护的EconLit数据库中的文章、论文、书籍、书评和工作论文进行分类。随着时间的推移，它已经发展并扩展到一个拥有850多个子类的系统。本文回顾了JEL分类系统的历史和发展，描述了当前版本，并提供了其在研究中的用途和应用的选择性概述。JEL代码分类系统已被几家出版商采用，并对其说明进行了审查。由于JEL分类系统在现有的文献计量学和科学计量学研究以及图书馆分类系统中很少使用，因此未来的研究有很多有趣的途径。
