Abstract
Classifications allow us to reduce the comlexities of qualitative information to standardised codes and enable the collection, storage and analysis of comparable injury data. The process of applying a classification in accordance with its associated rules and conventions is known as coding. This chapter will focus on the injury event and its cause, data capture and coding issues, and the strengths and limitations of coding systems.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
