迎接重大挑战需要建设性地将学术和非学术的多种形式的专业知识联合收割机结合起来，也就是说，需要跨学科的整合。但是，什么是跨学科整合？在本文中，我们提供了一个初步的答案，通过审查突出帐户的跨学科整合从两个文献很少放在一起：跨学科和生物学哲学。反映在这些帐户的相似性和差异，我们开发了一个框架，集成他们的见解集成作为一个通用的组合过程的细节是由特定的集成发生的具体情况。一个这样的背景是跨学科的研究，它产生跨学科的整合。最后，我们反思了这一框架对旨在应对重大挑战的研究工作的潜在适用性。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Meeting grand challenges requires responses that constructively combine multiple forms of expertise, both academic and non-academic; that is, it requires cross-disciplinary integration. But just what is cross-disciplinary integration? In this paper, we supply a preliminary answer by reviewing prominent accounts of cross-disciplinary integration from two literatures that are rarely brought together: cross-disciplinarity and philosophy of biology. Reflecting on similarities and differences in these accounts, we develop a framework that integrates their insights-integration as a generic combination process the details of which are determined by the specific contexts in which particular integrations occur. One such context is cross-disciplinary research, which yields cross-disciplinary integration. We close by reflecting on the potential applicability of this framework to research efforts aimed at meeting grand challenges. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
