跨学科有着悠久的传统-无论是在学术话语和研究实践方面。然而，到目前为止，跨学科研究（TDR）的扩散只取得了适度的进展。其主要原因是缺乏普遍接受的TDR质量标准。除了满足“常规科学”的卓越质量标准外，TDR还应响应各种社会需求。建立一个包含这些要求的质量标准只有在长期内才有可能，因为它需要在机构层面以及整个科学层面上进行深远的变革。今天，在贸易和发展报告中建立质量保证做法为实现这种变化奠定了必要的基础。本文的目的是提出一个即用型质量指南，我们打算为这一基础做出贡献。该准则是为《贸易和发展报告》量身定制的，目的是为与可持续发展有关的政策问题提供具体知识。该准则针对三类行为者：研究人员、方案管理人员或捐助者和决策者。它向这些参与者展示了他们可以具体做些什么来确保跨学科研究过程的质量。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Transdisciplinarity has a long tradition - both in terms of academic discourse and research practice. The proliferation of transdisciplinary research (TDR) has, however, only progressed moderately up until now. The main reason for this is the lack of a generally accepted quality standard for TDR. In addition to meeting the quality standards of excellence of 'normal science', TDR is supposed to respond to a variety of societal demands. Establishing a quality standard that incorporates these requirements would only be possible in the long-term as it calls for far reaching changes on both an institutional level as well as that of science as a whole. Building up a practice of quality assurance in TDR today lays the necessary foundation to bring about such changes. The aim of this paper is to present a ready-to-use quality guideline which we intend will contribute to that foundation. The guideline is customized to such TDR that aims to bring specific knowledge to bear on policy issues relating to sustainable development. The guideline addresses three groups of actors: researchers, program mangers or donors and policymakers. It shows these actors what they can do specifically to assure the quality of the transdisciplinary research process. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
