In science policy, it is generally acknowledged that science-based problem-solving requires interdisciplinary research. For example, policy makers invest in funding programs such as Horizon 2020 that aim to stimulate interdisciplinary research. Yet the epistemological processes that lead to effective interdisciplinary…

Interdisciplinary collaboration is an emerging imperative in music education, but current understanding of global practices remains limited. Prior studies have focused narrowly on specific programs within limited geographic areas. However, there is minimal quantitative mapping of initiatives across institutions and…

'Christoph Bieber'] In recent years, we have been observing the phenomenon of an emerging scientific field: digital transformation research (DTR). Due to the diversity and complexity of its object of research digital, transformation is not effectively researchable if confined to the boundaries of individual…

Inter- and transdisciplinary research is carried out with increasing frequency and intensity. Bibliometric analysis of disciplinary research is aided by i) classical topical categories that are used by databases cataloguing publications, and ii) via journals that either represent a topic, or attach appropriate…

In this article, we discuss the use of bipartite network analysis to understand and improve interdisciplinary teaching practice. We theorize mathematics and biology as part of a coevolving mutualistic ecosystem. As part of an interdisciplinary teaching initiative, we inventoried mathematics topics appearing in the…

This study investigates the convergence of two bibliometric approaches to the measurement of interdisciplinary research: one based on analyzing disciplinary diversity in the reference list of publications, the other based on the disciplinary diversity of authors of publications. In particular we measure the variety…

The concept of interdisciplinarity lacks theoretical understanding, and consequently, the number of indicators for interdisciplinarity is booming: out of field citations, betweenness centrality, or the set coherence, diversity, mediation, to mention a few. However, these indicators focus on characteristics of papers…
Nadine Rons
Nadine Rons (°1969) holds a Master degree in Physics from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (1991), where she did research in astronomy for four years until 1995. In 1996 she joined the university's Research Coordination unit. Her research interests cover a wide range of topics related to research management, including…

Interdisciplinary scientific research is increasingly important in knowledge production, funding policies, and academic discussions on scholarly communication. While many studies focus on interdisciplinary corpora defined a priori—usually through keywordbased searches within assumed interdisciplinary domains—few…

'Alexander Almér'] Similar to oil that acted as a basic raw material and key driving force of industrial society, information acts as a raw material and principal mover of knowledge society in the knowledge production, propagation and application. New developments in information processing and information communication…
Huaxia Zhou, Luís A. Nunes Amaral
There is a widely-held perception that science is becoming increasingly international — both in terms of collaborations involving authors from multiple countries and in terms of publications from authors from a broader group of countries — and more interdisciplinary, i.e., drawing on knowledge and methods from multiple…

Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research are widely considered necessary to addressing complex, often called ´wicked´, problems. Moreover, national and international funding schemes, institutional structures, and education programs have been created to foster interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research.…

We developed the Interdisciplinary Science Program in Research and Entrepreneurship (INSPIRE) to address the changing career landscape that students with an interest in Physical Chemistry, Biophysics and Biochemistry face. Third and fourth-year undergraduate Chemistry and Physics students participated in a 4-week…

Interdisciplinary research has been deemed to be critical in solving society’s wicked problems, including those relevant to medical education. Medical education research has been assumed to be interdisciplinary. However, researchers have questioned this assumption. The present study, a conceptual replication, provides…

An increased interdisciplinarity in science projects has been highlighted as crucial to tackle complex real-world challenges, but also as beneficial for the development of disciplines themselves. This paper introduces a parcimonious agent-based model of interdisciplinary relationships in collective entreprises of…

This paper explores the relationship between interdisciplinarity and research pertaining to local issues. Using Colombian publications from 1991 until 2011 in the Web of Science, we investigate the relationship between the degree of interdisciplinarity and the local orientation of the articles. We find that a higher…

This article critically examines three assumptions underlying recent efforts to advance interdisciplinary research-defined in this article as communication and collaboration between researchers across academic disciplines (e.g. Sociology, Psychology, Biology)-and examines these assumptions’ implications for health…

Significant advances in science should be given to addressing the needs of society and the historical context of the territories. Although technological developments that began with modernity and the industrial revolution allowed human beings to control the resources of nature to put to your service without limits, it…

In Chemoinformatics, as in many other computational-related disciplines, it is a common practice to identify the “single best” approach or methodology, for instance, identify the best fingerprint representation, the best single virtual screening approach or protocol, the optimal representation of the chemical space…

Today’s biomedical researchers are expected to apply understanding of basic biology to improve human health. Meeting this goal requires mastery of both laboratory and population sciences, each of which has its own knowledge base, techniques, and training paradigms. Emory University’s “Molecules-to-Mankind” (M2M)…

We investigate whether and in what measure scientists tend to diversify their research activity, and if this tendency varies according to their belonging to different disciplinary areas. We analyze the nature of research diversification along three dimensions: extent of diversification, intensity of diversification…

As one of the typical safety-critical systems, the chemical process industry (CPI) is congested with high-risk industrial processes, usually prone to the so-called multi-hazard coupling scenarios. One of the toughest challenges is analyzing the mutually amplified phenomena between various hazards, known as…
