Generally, interdisciplinarity has been explored using a variety of researchattributes, such as research formulation process, collaborations, research outcomes, and researchimpact. However, the US National Academies Committee on Science, Engineering & PublicPolicy (COSEPUP), Committee on Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research report, FacilitatingInterdisciplinary Research11 (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11153) suggests thatinterdisciplinarity, as an epistemic category, be determined based on the content of
