Summary
Interdisciplinary research boosts publication quantity and quality but may hinder funding success. Further qualitative studies are needed to understand its full impact on healthcare professionals' careers.
Area of Science:
- Health Sciences
- Interdisciplinary Studies
- Career Development
Background:
- Interdisciplinary research has grown in healthcare over the past two decades.
- Its specific effects on professional career progression remain largely unexamined.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the professional development outcomes linked to interdisciplinary research participation.
Main Methods:
- An integrative review was performed following Whittmore and Knafl's established framework.
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major databases: PubMed, Embase, PsycInfo, Web of Science, and CINAHL.
Main Results:
- Thirteen studies were analyzed, predominantly using bibliometric methods.
- Moderate interdisciplinary collaboration correlated with increased publication volume and enhanced quality.
- Interdisciplinary publications typically involved more authors, suggesting broader credit allocation.
- However, interdisciplinary research proposals demonstrated lower funding success rates compared to single-discipline proposals.
Conclusions:
- While interdisciplinary research enhances scholarly output, its funding challenges require attention.
- There is a critical need for rigorous qualitative research to fully elucidate the benefits and challenges for both researchers and institutions.
