| Abstract | Interdisciplinary research, defined as work which combines theories, methods, tools and concepts from multiple specialized knowledgebases, is often treated as proxy for research which is likely to be “transformative.” This treatment presumes that the novel combination of ideas from multiple disciplines has a high probability of generating "breakthrough" insights, which in turn will lead to significant discoveries and innovations. We conduct an exploratory study to understand how to measure the degree of interdisciplinarity involved in novel, significant research fields, and how those measures capture the integration of disparate ideas in novel configurations. Our approach is to examine research fields recognized as “breakthroughs” in their domains, such as tissue engineering and DNA microarrays, and “measure” the interdisciplinarity of the ideas embedded in those research areas in three ways: the Porter-Rafols integration score, a measure of the “topical diversity” of the papers using the method proposed by Newman et al., and hand-coded assessments by informed human reviewers. The results provide promising into the relative capabilities of bibliometrics and text analytics for assessing interdisciplinarity, and also examine more closely whether the characteristics of interdisciplinary research make that research more likely to produce scientific and technical breakthroughs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
