How the overview of research groups by subject is made

In some cases, we have chosen to merge related research subjects into a joint list and to simplify the headline and description on the webpage. This is to facilitate navigation and help visitors find the right information. Also, please note that the lists may not be complete, as the KI RIMS system has not yet been fully implemented in all parts of the university organisation.

For a research group, team or unit at KI to appear in one of the subject lists, they must have activated their group page on ki.se via KI RIMS, and the page must be labelled with a research subject from the Swedish standard classification, which is decided by the Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ), and the national public agency Statistics Sweden (SCB). 

Update to the 2025 standard

All research teams, groups, and units at KI have been provided with one or several research subjects from this national classification standard — hereafter called SCB labels. The selection of SCB labels is based on the scientific articles that the members have published, and which can be found in their personal accounts in the KI University Library's bibliometric system. It is subsequently possible for the research group leader to remove or change SCB labels on their own group webpage on ki.se via KI RIMS.

Currently, the 2016 version of the standard for SCB labels is used. KI will gradually update to the 2025 standard for SCB labels during autumn 2024 and spring 2025. Until the update is completed, we will also use research labels from the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terminology to autogenerate a few of the lists with research groups. However, MeSH is not regularly used to create subject overviews. If you want to use MeSH to find a research group or researcher at KI, we recommend you make your own research information filter search.
