目的本文展示了英国社会科学和人文科学研究者如何利用数字化工具、资源和服务来理解和感知跨学科性及其相关经验和需求。该研究检查了10个英国研究案例，其中两个来自以下社会科学和人文学科：商业/管理，教育，历史，文学和政治。数据收集采用定性方法，包括非参与性观察和半结构化访谈。结果研究者对跨学科的意义和自上而下的特征提出了质疑，并设想发展超越跨学科必要性的经验交流和知识共享的研究共同体。结论本文挑战了普遍的假设，即数字研究和跨学科齐头并进，一个是先决条件，并需要另一个，同时它邀请机构和资助机构考虑与研究人员共同努力，发展研究实践社区的替代方案。
Objective This article shows how social science and humanities researchers in the United Kingdom who make use of digital tools, resources, and services understand and perceive interdisciplinarity and their related experiences and needs. Methods The study examined 10 cases of U.K.‐based research, two from each of the following social science and humanities disciplines: business/management, education, history, literature, and politics. Data collection employed a qualitative methodology that consisted of nonparticipant observation and semi‐structured interviews. Results The article finds that researchers problematize the meaning and top‐down character of interdisciplinarity and envisage the development of research communities of experience exchange and knowledge sharing that go beyond the imperative of interdisciplinarity. Conclusion The article challenges prevalent assumptions that digital research and interdisciplinarity go hand in hand and that one is a prerequisite for and in need of the other, while it invites institutional and funding bodies to consider working jointly with researchers toward developing the alternative of research communities of practice.
