The field of academic discipline or study is the branch of knowledge taught and researched as part of higher education. The discipline of a scholar is generally defined by the university faculty and the learning community where he belongs and the academic journal in which he publishes the research.
Discipline varies between established in almost all universities and has well-defined and newly-defined list of journals and conferences supported by only a few universities and publications. Discipline may have branches, and this is often called a sub-discipline.
There is no consensus on how some academic disciplines should be classified, eg whether anthropology and linguistics are social disciplines or from the humanities.
The following outline is provided as an overview and topical guide to academic discipline.
