Abstract

The article is devoted to methodological aspects of interdisciplinarity in modern science. The essence of the interdisciplinary approach and its difference from related forms of knowledge integration are considered. The historical background and key characteristics of interdisciplinary research are analyzed. Special attention is paid to methodological issues, including terminological barriers, differences in standards and organizational difficulties. Examples of successful interdisciplinary projects such as genome sequencing and artificial intelligence research are given. The advantages of interdisciplinarity, including innovative potential and integrated solutions to global problems, are discussed. There are also challenges related to the academic tradition and the assessment of the quality of research. The article highlights the need to develop a methodological culture of interdisciplinary work.
