Interdisciplinary research (IDR) is a mode of research by teams or individuals that integrates information, data, techniques, tools, perspectives, concepts, and/or theories from two or more disciplines or bodies of specialized knowledge to advance fundamental understanding or to solve problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single discipline or area of research practice.

Two subject different different specialist   to gather work of research 

thanks

Dear Sri Kapil Agrawal,

Thanks for your post and the question. I am going to illustrate the issue so that it explains in a simpler way (as I presume)

Think of a Research Project Seasonal variation of specific diarrhoeagenic bacterial infection and pattern of food habits and Personal Hygiene among BPL urban slum dwellers in Kolkata and intervention studies: A 3 Year Pilot Project.

Now think about the components of this study.

A) The Study will be conducted for Three Years

B) Only Bacterial Infections responsible for diarrhoea will be studies

C) The Study will iinclude Urban Slum area in Kiokata 

D) Only BPL People  will be taken into this Study

E) Food habits of the people to be studied

F) Knowledge towards Personal Hygiene of the samples to be studied.

Here in the above Project, both Field based and Laboratory based studies will be needed.

Field Studies will be made comprising a team of:

Clinicians; Epidemiologists/Public Health Specialists;   Nutritionists and Behavioral Scientists like sociologists and demographers

Laboratory based study will include Microbiologists, Virologists etc.

The first group (Clinicians will see the signs and symptoms of Diarrhea so also the Epidemiologists)

The Personal Hygiene component and food habit are to be checked by a team comprising Epidemiologists and Nutritionists

The socio-economic standards to identify the BPL status to be studied by the Behavioral Scientists

The component of Slum Areas to be evaluated by Demographers

The clinical specimens (like stool samples etc) will be studied in the laboratory by Microbiologists

For writing of the report of this empirical study Biostatisticians need to be involved in this study.

Well, now you can understand by yourself what an interdisciplinary or in this case, Multidisciplinary research means.


Sincerely,



Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

when two experts of different discipline joint together for a research of specific topic it is called interdisciplinary research for ex. biophysics
