| description | The complexity of societal problems drives the need for interdisciplinary research. For
example, the current COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the need for various disciplines to address
worldwide challenges. Clearly, epidemiologists in a well-funded public health system (Maani
and Galea, 2020) are needed to generate the basic science on the disease spread. However,
beyond the disciplinary boundaries of epidemiology are the need for public organizations to
effectively collect and act on the data, coordinating between elected and appointed officials
(Kirlin, 2020). Moreover, disciplines researching budgets and finance and connecting lessons
learned across nations provide valued insights in understanding the varied dimensions of
responding to the pandemic (Holzer and Newbold, 2020). The Journal of Interdisciplinary
Sciences (JIS) welcome submission, offering an opportunity to bring together varied research
traditions, across varied disciplines to address complex, dynamic societal problems. |
