Summary

Fields of Research are more often than not isolated from one another in terms of their community, jargon, perspective, research programme (in the sense of Lakatos) and their journals and lots more. This isolation stands in the way of a fruitful merging and interaction of fields. One needs to understand the obstructions.

Objectives

• To understand the factors that lead to interdisciplinary work
• To compare the success of interdisciplinary papers with single discipline papers
• To apply network methods to citation datasets
• To gain insight into how interdisciplinary research might be better supported
