For the last several decades, there has been an ongoing discussion regarding disciplinary approaches towards the dissemination of theoretical/methodological frameworks and results that will enrich knowledge in the tourism field. However, there is still a lack of researchers' explanations and reflections regarding the benefits of involving into an interdisciplinary approach, which can lead to new forms of knowledge creation. Through this reflective study, the goal is to understand the process of writing and “being” the interdisciplinary PhD thesis writer in tourism, with interpretations referring to the elements of interdisciplinarity proposed in already existing tourism literature. By presenting the research process and results of the PhD thesis on persuasive communication occurring on online travel review platforms, the aim is to provide not only an interpretation of epistemology, but also of the ontology of conceptualizing and conducting tourism research in an interdisciplinary spirit and how this can stimulate further research on certain topic.

在过去的几十年中，一直在进行有关传播理论/方法框架和结果的学科方法的讨论，这将丰富旅游领域的知识。但是，对于参与跨学科方法的好处，这可能会导致新形式的知识创造，研究人员仍然缺乏解释和思考。通过这项反思性研究，目标是了解旅游业中跨学科博士学位论文的撰写和“成为”的过程，并以已存在的旅游文学中提出的跨学科性要素作为解释。通过介绍有关在线旅行评论平台上发生的说服性交流的博士学位论文的研究过程和结果，
