Interdisciplinarity of Cognitive Science 1
Introduction Cognitive science is a relatively young field. Its beginnings are typically dated in the 1950s, and it did not become a large-scale activity (with a society, meetings, and degree programs) until the late 1970s or early 1980s. As in most young fields, one of the salient features of cognitive science is its interdisciplinarity. All definitions of cognitive science make important ment...
متن کاملThe progress of interdisciplinarity in invasion science.
Interdisciplinarity is needed to gain knowledge of the ecology of invasive species and invaded ecosystems, and of the human dimensions of biological invasions. We combine a quantitative literature review with a qualitative historical narrative to document the progress of interdisciplinarity in invasion science since 1950. Our review shows that 92.4% of interdisciplinary publications (out of 919...
متن کاملThe Interdisciplinarity of Collaborations in Cognitive Science
We introduce a new metric for interdisciplinarity, based on co-author publication history. A published article that has co-authors with quite different publication histories can be deemed relatively "interdisciplinary," in that the article reflects a convergence of previous research in distinct sets of publication outlets. In recent work, we have shown that this interdisciplinarity metric can p...
متن کاملScience, interdisciplinarity, and the society
Scientific research is organized within a range of different disciplines. Besides some historical contingence, the recent landscape of academics reflects mainly divisions between different objects, terminologies, theories, and methods, which are represented by the specific disciplines. Correspondingly, a huge number of (sub-) disciplines have been established until now. Research within these di...
متن کاملThe evolution of interdisciplinarity in physics research
Science, being a social enterprise, is subject to fragmentation into groups that focus on specialized areas or topics. Often new advances occur through cross-fertilization of ideas between sub-fields that otherwise have little overlap as they study dissimilar phenomena using different techniques. Thus to explore the nature and dynamics of scientific progress one needs to consider the organizati...
