I learn of the partition table of academic journals issued by Chinese Academic Sciences (中科院JCR期刊分区表) whose subcategories are consistent with JCR categories. For the convenience of access, I excerpt JCR category profile of computer science and telecommunications from Web of Science.

1. Statistics for categories

Each journal indexed in JCR is assigned to at least one subject category, indicating a general area of science or the social sciences. Journals may be included in more than one subject category; therefore, when comparing journals across related categories, it is possible to see the same journal title in different categories.

Write a simple Python script to extract the categories, computer science and telecommunications, as shown below. The source code is available on my GitHub, here.
