A field of study refers to a specific area of academic discipline or knowledge that is studied and researched by scholars, researchers, and students. Examples of fields of study include physics, biology, psychology, sociology, economics, history, literature, and many more. Each field of study has its own methods, theories, concepts, and research methods that are used to explore, understand, and explain phenomena related to that particular area of knowledge. Fields of study can be interdisciplinary, meaning that they draw on multiple disciplines and perspectives, or they can be specialized, focusing on a narrow area of inquiry within a broader discipline.
