Aims and Scope
International Journal of Interdisciplinary Science · Last updated 1 September 2026
1Aims and Scope
The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Science publishes high-quality research that integrates two or more disciplines to generate insights, methods, or solutions beyond the reach of a single field.
The journal is particularly interested in research that makes the integration explicit, explaining how disciplinary perspectives were combined and what the combination contributes.
