Description |
| |
|
Encyclopedic multidisciplinarity |
Subprojects from different fields are linked loosely by a topic, and the
disciplines work with separate problems using their own methodology.
|
|
Contextualizing multidisciplinarity |
Knowledge is produced in a context in relation to problem setting, which
binds research groups with related interests.
|
|
Composite multidisciplinarity |
Elements, research tasks, or knowledge are externalized or transferred in a
modularized way from one field to another as a combination of expertise, but
interaction is technical rather than dialogic.
|
|
Empirical interdisciplinarity |
Data are integrated to examine relationships between phenomena or to
produce a combination of evidence to solve a problem.
|
|
Methodological interdisciplinarity |
A combination of different methodological approaches in an integrated
manner.
|
|
Theoretical interdisciplinarity |
Theories, concepts, or models are synthesized to devise new theoretical
approaches for interdisciplinary analyses. |
