Have you ever wondered what the difference is between interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary is?
“Multidisciplinarity, cross-disciplinarity, transdisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity are terms
that are often used interchangeably. However, in the professional literature for
interdisciplinarians, they have different meanings.”

Wolfe and Haynes describe the differences and set up assessment strategies for differentiating between them in writing and research.
