Preliminary Report of Literature Review on Understandings of Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Research

Abstract

This report presents emerging findings from a literature review being undertaken as part of the SHAPE-ID Horizon 2020 project (https://www.shapeid.eu), which addresses the challenge of improving interdisciplinary research (IDR) and transdisciplinary research (TDR) between Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) disciplines and other scientific disciplines. The report describes efforts to build a robust sample of literature, aligning qualitative and quantitative methodologies and beginning to map understandings and factors for success and failure in the literature. ; This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 822705.
