Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Combing the interdisciplinary research, summarizing the existing research problems, providing references for evaluating the effect of interdisciplinary research and promoting the development of interdisciplinary research. [Method/process] This paper first analyzed the related concepts of interdisciplinary research, and then, on the basis of the research at home and abroad, from the perspectives of interdisciplinary theoretical research(interdisciplinary research in talent development and education, types of interdisciplinary research, internal and external motivation and obstacles of interdisciplinary research), interdisciplinary measurement research(interdisciplinary measurement methods, interdisciplinary measurement indicators), interdisciplinary law research (interdisciplinary research impact two-way measurement, interdisciplinary research topic identification) to summarize it. At the end of the paper, pointing out the existing research deficiencies and putting forward the prospect for the future development. In this research, we can provide help for the follow-up research from the perspective of the combination of micro-deep analysis and macro-overall construction. [Result/conclusion] At present, there are some deficiencies in interdisciplinary research:the faculty and curriculum system need to be further optimized; the diversity of research objects needs to be improved; the interdisciplinary measurement methods and measurement indicators need to be systematized; the subject classification system needs to be further defined; the two-way influencing factors of interdisciplinary are not comprehensive; the subject identification methods are not complete; the qualitative and quantitative methods need to be combined with each other. Future research can be conducted in-depth analysis of the above deficiencies.
