‘Me and IDR’ self-reflection questions for individual researchers considering or engaging in IDR
| Me and IDR . | |
|---|---|
| 1. Why do you consider IDR? | (1) Is there a need to approach my research object through novel perspectives to account for its complexity? (2) Do I feel motivated to engage with new fields, theories, methods, and perspectives? (3) Is an integration of other fields’ perspectives necessary to further develop my home discipline? |
| 2. Are you ready for doing IDR? | (1) Do I feel equipped in terms of my learning skills, curiosity, and time it takes to engage with a new discipline? (2) Do I have the communication and collaboration skills to work with others who do not share the same academic socialization? (3) Am I already an established researcher who can balance the risks of IDR or (in case I am an early career scholar) do I feel supported to engage with several disciplines at once? |
| 3. What are the relevant specifics of your field? | (1) Do I come from a field concerned with the real-world application of knowledge? (2) Do I come from a field that values the integration of other disciplines’ perspectives? (3) Do I come from a field that usually provides knowledge for others, or does it usually take from others? |
