scis

Scis is an acronym used in several domains. It is often written as SCIS in uppercase, but the lowercase form scis is not a standard word in English. Its meaning is therefore determined by context.

In higher education, SCIS commonly stands for a School of Computing and Information Science, a departmental unit at universities that concentrates on computing, information science, data science, and related disciplines. These units typically provide undergraduate and postgraduate programs and may host research activities across software engineering, artificial intelligence, databases, and information systems.

In library and information science, SCIS denotes a bibliographic resource related to school resources. As a cataloging or metadata service, it provides standardized records and subject terms to support efficient indexing and discovery in school libraries and related catalogs. The exact scope and governance of SCIS-related services vary by country and institution.

Other uses of the acronym exist in corporate, governmental, and research contexts. Because SCIS is used by many organizations, the intended meaning is usually clarified by accompanying organizational names or field of activity.
