Countries
Countries of focus are used to identify either:
- which geographic area the research document covers
- where the research was produced, based on the publisher country
- the countries in which an organisation works
Note that we also provide:
- a location_country to indicate where an organisation is based, and
- a publisher_country to indicate where the publisher of a document is based.
We use the predefined list of countries and make the ISO codes available for searching.
