Eight Recommendations for Integrating Disciplines

ignificant strides are being made to produce
more transdisciplinary research in the sys-
tems, man, and cybernetics (SMC) communi-
ty, which is inherently interdisciplinary. To
produce effective transdisciplinary SMC
work, perspectives from multiple disciplines must be
integrated. Yet, continued work is still needed to help

promote the transdisciplinary nature of SMC and encour-
age more transdisciplinary work in this area. This article
offers eight recommendations for developing foundation-
al transdisciplinary SMC-based research. These recom-
mendations relate to the following areas: 1) academic
training, 2) a shared and common language, 3) the need for
transdisciplinarity, 4) problem space requirements, 5)
shared spaces and mechanisms, 6) team science and cog-
nition, 7) credit, and 8) metrics to measure transdisci-
plinary performance.
