Crossing the Line: Towards increasingly fruitful complex systems research for the physics community

General Physics 2011-09-27 v3 Popular Physics

Abstract

This article addresses broad trends in interdisciplinary research in physics where interactions with colleagues in fields such as computer science, ecology, or economics can often be derailed by unintentional clashes of methodologies and perspectives on the core science. Key causes of such breakdowns in interdisciplinary work are detailed and solutions offered.
