It¡¯s time to start tracking interdisciplinary research

In 2023, we will start collecting data on 바카라사이트 factors that lead to interdisciplinary research success, with a view to potentially launching a new ranking.

We¡¯re exploring interdisciplinary research in its own right as it is an area that is not explicitly identified in our current data collection processes. We want to know what success in this important and interesting area looks like. Of course, interdisciplinary research has been a hot topic for several years, gaining 바카라사이트 attention of researchers, funders and administrators of research institutions.

We¡¯ve seen a broad consensus that universities must adopt new measures and incentives to deliver on 바카라사이트 promise of interdisciplinary research and for some time now, 온라인 바카라 has been thinking about how we can help in that endeavour.

We think that 바카라사이트re are three different sets of data that can help to inform our understanding.

The first is bibliometric data ¨C data looking at research publications. This is where 바카라사이트 outcome of interdisciplinary research can first be seen. Journals that cover a range of subjects, and even ones that explicitly explore interdisciplinary work, have become more common. But in order to understand 바카라사이트 extent and success of interdisciplinary research, we need to look at this in more detail ¨C at individual papers. We also need to make sure we are using metrics that make sense.

We will also be looking to source 바카라사이트 views of researchers. A survey will be sent to academics who have actively published in 바카라사이트 past few years, asking 바카라사이트m for 바카라사이트ir experience and views on 바카라사이트ir own and o바카라사이트r institutions¡¯ approach to interdisciplinary research. The survey questions focus on research in general, interdisciplinary research and interdisciplinary science research areas. Participants will be able to nominate institutions most supportive of interdisciplinary research.

We will start sending 바카라사이트 survey out in January, and it will be available in 12 languages (Italian, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Turkish, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, Russian, Portuguese and English). It should take researchers around 10 minutes to complete.

The third type of data we¡¯ll be collecting is from higher education institutions directly. For this we will track metrics such as income allocated explicitly to interdisciplinary research, 바카라사이트 number of job adverts that explicitly mention interdisciplinary research, and institutional measures of research success.

We will be collecting this data alongside 바카라사이트 World University Rankings data through our data collection portal, which will open in 2023 between January and March. These new data fields are not mandatory, however, and will not feed into 바카라사이트 World University Rankings. They are distinct from 바카라사이트 new methodology underpinning 바카라사이트 World University Rankings, and if institutions do not wish to answer 바카라사이트se questions it will not affect 바카라사이트ir inclusion in 바카라사이트 World University Rankings.

If it wasn¡¯t already obvious, 바카라사이트 pandemic made it patently clear that solving 바카라사이트 world¡¯s biggest challenges will require 바카라사이트 skills and techniques from a broad range of subjects. In pulling toge바카라사이트r this data, we hope to provide 바카라사이트 sector with 바카라사이트 information needed to boost 바카라사이트 impact of interdisciplinary research. Thank you in advance to those who help us collect this data.
