The independence of research is a key strategic issue of modern societies. Dealing with it appropriately poses legal, economic, political, social and cultural problems for society, which have been studied by the corresponding disciplines and are increasingly the subject of reflexive discourses of scientific communities. Unfortunately, problems of independence are usually framed in disciplinary contexts without due consideration of other perspectives’ relevance or possible contributions. To overcome these limitations, we review disciplinary perspectives and findings on the independence of research and identify interdisciplinary prospects that could inform a research programme.

研究的独立性是现代社会的一个关键战略问题。适当地处理它会给社会带来法律、经济、政治、社会和文化问题，这些问题已经被相应学科研究过，并且越来越成为科学界反思性话语的主题。不幸的是，独立性问题通常是在学科背景下提出的，而没有适当考虑其他观点的相关性或可能的贡献。为了克服这些限制，我们回顾了关于研究独立性的学科观点和发现，并确定了可以为研究计划提供信息的跨学科前景。
