Within the scope of citizen science projects, crowdsourcing has already expanded into scientific application areas. In this, its scientific potential is only partly exhausted, however. It will be shown that transdisciplinary research is made up in content and structural aspects in such a way that crowdsourcing can fully unfold as a research method through varied participation possibilities, ref...

This study examines a pathway for building urban climate change mitigation policies by presenting a multi-dimensional and transdisciplinary approach in which technical, economic, environmental, social, and political dimensions interact. Now, more than ever, the gap between science and policymaking needs to be bridged; this will enable judicious choices to be made in regarding energy and climate...

We aim at an exercise of transdisciplinary approach between Science and religion, but also interdisciplinary between disciplines and theories which appeared in the second half of the 20 th century (e.g. topology, chaos theory, fractal geometry, non-linear dynamics, all of which can be found in the theory of complex systems) and which impose a reformulation of the theories of Quantum Mechanics s...

five library and information science core journals had published 679 papers during io-year period(1373-1382 h.), which contain 7234 citations. the purpose of this study is to identify the tran disciplinary relation models of this journal articles during the ten years, also try to explore the most cited sources, the prominent language of citations and to compare the number of cited translated so...

There has been much recent discussion about student engagement in higher education, and in the last few years a number of authors have undertaken extensive international research on the topic, which has been summarized in a number of literature reviews. However, to date, there has been relatively little in-depth exploration of student engagement in problem-based learning (PBL) or the impact of ...

A computing platform includes a programming environment to create applications with a coherent operating system and processor. The Service ORiented Computing EnviRonment (SORCER) is an object-oriented cloud platform that targets service abstractions for transdisciplinary complexity with support for high performance computing. SORCER service-commands are expressed in ExertionOriented Language (E...

IEEE Transactions onServicesComputing and INFORMSService Science issued a joint call for papers targeting the bridging of service perspectives from business (e.g., service science, servicesmarketing and information systems) to services computing. The intent was to advance transdisciplinary research agendas that could generate advances that go beyond the sum of independent research streams. Aswi...

We examine the DataONE (Data Observation Network for Earth) project, a transdisciplinary organization tasked with creating a cyberinfrastructure platform to ensure preservation of and access to environmental science and biological science data. Its objective was a difficult one to achieve, requiring innovative solutions. The DataONE project used a working group structure to organize its members...
