Psychology

Using network analyses to examine the extent to which and in what ways psychology is multidisciplinary

Y. Fujita and M. S. Vitevitch

This study by Yoshiaki Fujita and Michael S. Vitevitch explores the intricate web of psychology's multidisciplinary nature using network science tools. The research uncovers consistent citation patterns across various fields and identifies both persistent and transient research themes in the discipline from 2008 to 2018.

Abstract
This study uses network science tools to quantitatively assess the extent of psychology's multidisciplinarity and how it has changed over time. Citation networks were constructed from articles published in Web of Science's "Multidisciplinary-Psychology" journals (2008-2018). Results show a consistent distribution of citations across Multidisciplinary-Psychology, other Psychology subfields, and other disciplines, indicating stable multidisciplinarity. Module detection in citation networks, followed by co-word network analysis of keywords, revealed persistent and transient research themes. The study discusses strategies for fostering multidisciplinary research.
