Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Interdisciplinary research collaboration is an important way to promote knowledge innovation and solve complex social problems in the new era. Reviewing the research progress of interdisciplinary research collaboration at home and abroad in the past five years can help grasp the research frontiers in this field and provide direction for future research. [Method/process] This paper adopts a systematic review method, selecting literature closely related to the theme of interdisciplinary research collaboration from inWeb of Science and CNKI from 2020 to 2024, condensing the research topic, analyzing the main research viewpoints, and summarizing the changing characteristics, then proposing future research directions. [Result/conclusion] The existing studies mainly focuses on the operational models, measurement methods, influencing factors, and promotion strategies of interdisciplinary research collaboration. The field exhibits notable shifts in research scope, analytical perspectives, subject diversity, and methodological pluralism. Future research is supposed to focus on exploring more scientific interdisciplinary research collaboration evaluation system, building a cooperation operation guarantee system with the participation of multiple stakeholders, deepening the interdisciplinary research collaboration mode that meets national strategic needs.
