鼓励相互相关的学科之间的知识流动是研究政策制定者的一个值得追求的目标。然而，目前尚不清楚什么类型的研究促进跨学科的知识流动，以及这种研究是否产生特别有影响力的知识。经验问题仍然是如何识别知识流中介研究，以及如何为这项研究提供支持。这项研究有助于解决这些差距，提出了一种新的方式来确定知识流中介研究在个别的研究文章的水平，而不是在更聚合的水平。我们确定期刊文章，链接两个相互相关的学科在三种方式聚合，桥接，和扩散。然后，我们研究这些论文获得后续引用或获得资助的可能性。我们的认知科学和教育研究知识流的案例研究表明，从多个学科的知识聚合的文章被引用显着更经常比那些引用主要来自一个单一的学科。有趣的是，符合被视为知识流调解人的标准的文章不太可能反映资金，根据报告的检索，比那些不符合这些标准。基于这些发现，我们得出的研究政策制定者的影响。
Encouraging knowledge flow between mutually relevant disciplines is a worthy aim of research policy makers. Yet, it is less clear what types of research promote cross-disciplinary knowledge flow and whether such research generates particularly influential knowledge. Empirical questions remain as to how to identify knowledge-flow mediating research and how to provide support for this research. This study contributes to addressing these gaps by proposing a new way to identify knowledge-flow mediating research at the individual research article level, instead of at more aggregated levels. We identify journal articles that link two mutually relevant disciplines in three ways—aggregating, bridging, and diffusing. We then examine the likelihood that these papers receive subsequent citations or have funding acknowledgments. Our case study of cognitive science and educational research knowledge flow suggests that articles that aggregate knowledge from multiple disciplines are cited significantly more often than are those whose references are drawn primarily from a single discipline. Interestingly, the articles that meet the criteria for being considered knowledge-flow mediators are less likely to reflect funding, based on reported acknowledgements, than were those that did not meet these criteria. Based on these findings, we draw implications for research policymakers.
