Current Interdisciplinarity Measures Fail to Reflect Authors' Perspectives
View through CrossRef
The objective of this paper is to compare bibliometrically constructed indexes of interdisciplinarity
with authors’ self-assessments of the interdisciplinarity of their own papers, thereby providing
knowledge into how well these indicators correspond with researchers’ own perceptions. The
bibliometric interdisciplinarity measures analyzed include the Shannon entropy, 2DS, and DIV*
indicators. The data analyzed in the study are derived from two separate questionnaire surveys, in
which authors were asked about specific articles they had published. The results reveal that there is
little agreement between the bibliometric measures and authors’ assessments of interdisciplinarity,
with correlations ranging from weak to very weak.
