Value Landscapes in Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Research and Assessment: Exploring Indeterminacies and Disconnects
Value Landscapes in Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Research and Assessment: Exploring Indeterminacies and Disconnects
Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research are promoted because of their contribution to addressing complex societal challenges. However, barriers to these research modes persist, some of which emerge from challenges in assessing inter- and transdisciplinary research. This article uses the sensitising concept of ‘values’ to study the entanglement of inter- and transdisciplinary research practices and their assessment.
