These include the establishment of direct ties, the strengths of these ties, as well as the density, structural holes, centrality, and cross-disciplinary links.
It was here that teachers, students and researchers argued successfully for the importance of building cross-disciplinary links and for establishing ties with those subject to the application of dubious academic knowledge - for example, with mental health clinicians and patients.
Recent advances in cross-disciplinary studies linking architecture and neuroscience have revealed that much of the built environment for health-care delivery may actually impair rather than improve health outcomes by disrupting effective communication and increasing patient and staff stress.
However, there are corresponding downsides: authors may not want to take the time to record their findings in detail, and they may not have the cross-disciplinary bioinformatics expertise to link findings to the underlying biological reference databases.
This acquisition of cross-disciplinary competences is closely linked to the university education stage (Hernández, 2010) and makes it easier for graduates to have a greater chance of success in the scientific and professional fields where they will develop their professional activity (Area, 2010).

The Pasteur Institute was recently reorganized around cross-disciplinary research programs intended to maximize links between scholars from disparate fields.
Collectively, these concepts have the potential to shape the outlook for beach ecology and they should also encourage marine ecologists to embrace, via cross-disciplinary ecological research, exposed sandy beach systems that link the oceans with the land.
"This cross-disciplinary collaboration enabled our labs to discover unsuspected links between sleep and pain, with actionable clinical implications for improving pain management," Scammell said.
