| Abstract: | This paper analyses the conflicts between interdisciplinary scholarship and conventional disciplinary standards within the promotion and tenure frameworks of music departments. Despite the growing encouragement for interdisciplinary research within universities, evaluation systems frequently maintain a focus on discipline-specific accomplishments, posing challenges for scholars whose work traverses cultural, technological, theoretical, or creative realms. Drawing on published research and institutional policy examples, this paper identifies potential shortcomings in current frameworks for recognising interdisciplinary contributions. It advocates for reforms that encompass more transparent policies, fair evaluation criteria, and varied review committees equipped to evaluate intricate scholarly contributions. Achieving a balance between disciplinary expertise and interdisciplinary innovation is crucial for the progression of music research and for ensuring its relevance in an evolving global context.
