Introduction:
Interdisciplinary research involves integrating knowledge, methods, and perspectives from two or more disciplines to address a complex issue or problem that cannot be fully understood using a single-discipline approach.
Information Booster:
The core aim of interdisciplinary research is not to emphasize a single subject or to change the direction of methodology in isolation.
Instead, it aims to combine multiple disciplines to develop a comprehensive and unified approach to solve complex, real-world problems.
Such research provides holistic solutions by bringing in various perspectives — for example, climate change research may involve environmental science, economics, policy studies, and sociology.
