Does interdisciplinary research lead to higher scientific impact?

2011-09-16 , Amat, Carlos B. , D'Este, Pablo , Porter, Alan L. , Rafols, Ismael , Yegros, Alfredo

This paper explores the relationship between interdisciplinarity and scientific impact at the paper level. To do so, we first operationalize interdisciplinarity of a paper as the diversity of disciplines it references. Second, we assess whether (and to what extent) different aspects of diversity affect scientific impact, using number of citations per paper as a proxy.
