Research collaboration among interdisciplinary teams has become a common trend in recent days. However, there is a lack of evidence in literature regarding which disciplines play dominant roles in interdisciplinary research settings. It is also unclear whether the dominant role of disciplines vary between STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and non-STEM focused research. This study considers metadata of the research projects funded by the Australian Research Council Discovery Grant Project scheme. Applying network analytics, this study investigates the contribution of individual disciplines in the successfully funded projects. It is noted that the disciplines Engineering , Biological Sciences and Technology appear as the principal disciplines in interdisciplinary research having a STEM focus. By contrast, non-STEM interdisciplinary research is led by three disciplines— Studies in Human Societies , Language, Communication and Culture , and History and Archaeology . For projects entailing interdisciplinarity between STEM and non-STEM disciplines, the STEM discipline of Medical and Health Sciences and the non-STEM disciplines of Psychology and Cognitive Science and Studies in Human Societies appear as the leading contributors. Overall, the network-based visualisation reveals that research interdisciplinarity is implemented in a heterogeneous way across STEM and non-STEM disciplines, and there are gaps in inter-disciplinary collaborations among some disciplines.

跨学科研究:STEM 与非 STEM

近年来,跨学科团队之间的研究合作已成为一种普遍趋势。然而,文献中缺乏关于哪些学科在跨学科研究环境中发挥主导作用的证据。还不清楚学科的主导作用是否在 STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)和非 STEM 重点研究之间有所不同。本研究考虑了由澳大利亚研究委员会发现资助项目计划资助的研究项目的元数据。应用网络分析,本研究调查了各个学科在成功资助的项目中的贡献。值得注意的是,工程、生物科学和技术学科似乎是跨学科研究的主要学科,具有 STEM 重点。相比之下,非 STEM 跨学科研究由三个学科主导——人类社会研究、语言、传播与文化研究以及历史与考古学。对于涉及 STEM 和非 STEM 学科之间跨学科的项目,医学与健康科学的 STEM 学科以及心理学和认知科学与人类社会研究的非 STEM 学科似乎是主要贡献者。总体而言,基于网络的可视化显示,研究跨学科在 STEM 和非 STEM 学科之间以异构方式实施,某些学科之间的跨学科合作存在差距。对于涉及 STEM 和非 STEM 学科之间跨学科的项目,医学与健康科学的 STEM 学科以及心理学和认知科学与人类社会研究的非 STEM 学科似乎是主要贡献者。总体而言,基于网络的可视化显示,研究跨学科在 STEM 和非 STEM 学科之间以异构方式实施,某些学科之间的跨学科合作存在差距。对于涉及 STEM 和非 STEM 学科之间跨学科的项目,医学与健康科学的 STEM 学科以及心理学和认知科学与人类社会研究的非 STEM 学科似乎是主要贡献者。总体而言,基于网络的可视化显示,研究跨学科在 STEM 和非 STEM 学科之间以异构方式实施,某些学科之间的跨学科合作存在差距。
