This study addresses the lack of described methods in interdisciplinary collaboration. It proposes a template to make these research methods transparent and enhance scientific inquiry.

Area of Science:

  • Scientific methodology
  • Interdisciplinary research

Background:

  • Interdisciplinary inquiry is widely recognized as crucial in science policy.
  • However, the specific methods of interdisciplinary collaboration remain largely undescribed and opaque.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the persistent silence surrounding the practical methods of interdisciplinary collaboration.
  • To propose a template for describing and implementing interdisciplinary research methods.

Main Methods:

  • Review and outline existing analyses of interdisciplinarity, particularly concerning new disciplines and institutions.
  • Develop and present a template for the methods of interdisciplinary collaboration.

Main Results:

  • Existing literature primarily focuses on the outcomes and institutionalization of interdisciplinarity, not its process.

  • A proposed template for interdisciplinary collaboration methods is presented.

    • Conclusions:

    • Making the methods of interdisciplinary projects transparent can significantly invigorate future research.
    • The proposed template aims to break the silence and provide a framework for effective collaboration.
