Knowledge-sourcing strategies for cross-disciplinarity in
bionanotechnology
The authors conduct five case studies to look into the extent and types of crossdisciplinary practices in a specialty of bionanotechnology. They found that there is a consistently high degree of cross-disciplinarity in the cognitive aspects of research (i.e. references and instrumentalities), but a more erratic and narrower degree associated with social constructs.
