Description: How does one ascertain the quality of interdisciplinary work when criteria from the individual disciplines do not suffice? Assessment is one of the most important and least understood aspects of interdisciplinary research. Building on an empirical study of interdisciplinary work in exemplary institutions (e.g., MIT Media Lab, Santa Fe Institute, Center for Bioethics at U. Penn) we describe common challenges and propose three epistemic criteria by which interdisciplinary work can by evaluated: consistency, balance, and effectiveness.
