As an important symptom of the transition, he mentioned the emergence of large-scale, high-tech, trans-disciplinary research fields such as molecular biology.
Thus, philosophers may overcome the concern already brought forward by Michel Serres (1972), namely that in the present era of disruptive change, exemplified by the emergence of large-scale, high-tech, trans-disciplinary research fields such as molecular biology, philosophy runs the risk of losing track, of becoming outdated and irrelevant.
The present study aims to pioneer a new cross-disciplinary research field which we call "Ecological Geotechnics".
The readers are pointed to several pioneering research efforts over the years that have made surface modification and surface science a rich, diverse, and multi-disciplinary research field.
At the convergence of advances in computer vision, imaging, embedded computing, and sensor networks, Visual Sensor Networks (VSNs) emerge as a cross-disciplinary research field and are attracting more and more attention.
In conclusion, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine presents an exciting, emerging inter-disciplinary research field that is a natural platform for life scientists, engineers, and clinicians working together to develop therapeutic solutions for diseased or injured tissue and organs.
Such research should be complemented with more multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary research, as well as better trans-disciplinary understanding.
In some cases, this may already be happening through a broadening of research initiatives, viz multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary research.
Working at the intersections of technology, sociology, history, politics, philosophy, arts, media studies, critical pedagogy, and science-fiction, the journal welcomes contributions from wide range of disciplines and inter-, trand- and anti- disciplinary research methodologies.
This requires trans disciplinary care and emphasises that the field of disaster medicine should embrace both domains of expertise.
This paper proposes a method for cross-disciplinary collaboration recommendation (CDCR) to analyze cross-disciplinary collaboration patterns in scholarly big data, and recommend valuable research fields for possible cross-disciplinary collaboration.
