A Philosophy of Informing Science

نویسنده

  • Eli B. Cohen
چکیده

Informing Science is the transdiscipline that studies all issues in informing clients. In recent decades, advances in information technologies magnify the impact and importance of this transdiscipline on many fields of study. Yet transdisciplinary research conducted to date tends to be fieldspecific and not well informed by the works conducted in other fields that are also within this same transdiscipline. This paper provides additional context and so updates the content of the Cohen (1999) paper, the seminal work on Informing Science. This paper describes the Informing Science Philosophy of conducting research that crosses disciplinary boundaries. It also points out the need for colleagues from the diverse disciplines, each dealing with issues in informing clients, to communicate with and learn from one another.
