Who is doing inter- and transdisciplinary research, and why? An empirical study of motivations, attitudes, skills, and behaviours

Strategic Team Science: Scaffolded training for research self-efficacy, interdisciplinarity, diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence in biomedical research

“…Collaborative research requires not only the exchange of ideas, skills, and expertise but also diversity and equity in expressing ideas and world views, a high degree of joint attention, communication, interaction, mutual engagement, and co-elaboration of knowledge. 1,3 Effective collaborative communication requires taking diverse perspectives and participating in the process of social knowledge production. 3 Consequently, the experience of collaborative research exposes team members to the diversity of perspectives and requires equity in voice in sharing ideas and clarifying differences.…”

Five Organizational Features That Enable Successful Interdisciplinary Marine Research

“…A key theme throughout the emerging literature on supporting interdisciplinary research has been the need to build individual capacity for interdisciplinarity (e.g., Haider et al, 2018;Hein et al, 2018;Kelly et al, 2019;Andrews et al, 2020). Research suggests that interdisciplinary researchers tend to be motivated to contribute to the advancement of a "common good, " characterized by attitudes of tolerance and reflexivity and by skills including team management and facilitation, among other attributes (Guimarães et al, 2019). Another important individual capacity is the extent and quality of team members' past collaborative experiences with each other and their experience with collaboration in general (Misra et al, 2011).…”

From Multidisciplinarity to Transdisciplinarity and from Local to Global Foci: Integrative Approaches to Systemic Resilience Based upon the Value of Life in the Context of Environmental and Gender Vulnerabilities with a Special Focus upon the Brazilian Amazon Biome

“…In an interdisciplinary approach, scientists in different disciplines may work together on the same issue, but each can work with her/his own methodologies, which results in outputs and sharing of each other's findings, thus the disciplines become more integrated. In a transdisciplinary approach, stakeholders of various disciplines are required to collaboratively find solutions beyond the limit of single disciplinary knowledge, and to work outside of their own disciplines with the objective of creating sustainable, solution-oriented solutions for complex problems that cannot be solved by a single discipline [127,128]. These solutions can help to make eco-socially sensitive decisions, which are of paramount societal importance for the short and long-term future.…”
