New code in KBLI 2025 — social science research was previously part of broader research categories in KBLI 2020. The 2025 classification separates social science research (72201) from natural science research (72101) and experimental research (72109), recognizing the distinct methodologies and regulatory needs of social science disciplines.

Social science research in Bali? 72201 is the code. BPS_ONLY for now, so expect NIB-only registration with licensing details to be clarified. The critical non-OSS requirement: Ethical Clearance for human subjects research. Bali's tourism, culture, and social dynamics make it a rich research environment. Let me explain the setup.
