Here is a first stab at establishing advice for disciplines from the interdisciplinary research process:1) Have a point. The IRP integrates insights from different disciplines. This task depends on insights being communicated as clearly as possible (Question: Are there disciplines in which it is not feasible to state conclusions clearly? If so, how do such disciplines inform interdisciplinary integration?) 2) Be clear about which phenomena are being addressed and how these interact. Interdisciplinary analysis benefits from mapping the relationships among relevant phenomena.  3) Define terms as carefully as possible. We are aware that perfect clarity in definition is impossible. Yet we recognize that un-recognized differences in definitions are a major source of scholarly misunderstanding and miscommunication. 4) Use at least one method or integrative process properly, and be clear about the research methodology.  (Question: Should the survey articles within disciplines pursue similar approaches to integrative work across disciplines?) 5). Recognize that systems are open. We can recognize that the phenomena studied within disciplines each interact with phenomena studied in other disciplines.  6) Encourage comparison and generalization. There is an important role for detailed case studies in both disciplines and interdisciplinarity. Yet we should always draw broader lessons when possible.
