| Abstract: | The article focuses on the concept and evolution of interdisciplinarity, particularly as reflected in the history and mission of the journal Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (ISR). Interdisciplinarity is characterized as a mode of inquiry that integrates knowledge from multiple disciplines to produce fundamentally new insights, distinct from mere multidisciplinary aggregation. Since its founding in 1976, ISR has navigated tensions between methodological codification and open-ended exploration, emphasizing the epistemic importance of integration in interdisciplinary research. Recent developments highlight a need for deeper theoretical understanding and clearer criteria to evaluate interdisciplinary practice, especially as the field matures amid changing academic and technological landscapes. The journal’s ongoing commitment is to advance interdisciplinary inquiry by fostering reflective, rigorous scholarship that addresses foundational questions of meaning, methodology, and governance.
