Boundary Research: Tools and Rules to Impact Emerging Fields

Abstract

Boundary research can be risky, but it can also move academic disciplines into wider areas of influence. To help reduce the risk and increase the reward, this article describes new tools that boundary researchers can use to get started, published, and promoted.
