SWOT Analysis of Multidisciplinary ResearchSWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis is a strategic planning measure developed from marketing science and applied to assess the strategic potential of research linked to development. has been widely applied to diagnose challenges and opportunities in development practice, including: for example, direct budget support. SWOT analysis has been shown to result in superior decision-making compared to relatively unstructured “brainstorming” methods. Strengths of Multidisciplinary Research The most cited advantage of multidisciplinary research is that it provides different approaches and perspectives on problems. It brings new perspectives, cross-fertilization, exchanges of methodology. In return, this allows you to improve your disciplines thanks to the feedback generated. Multidisciplinary research improves researchers' vision of their own discipline. The second most cited benefit of multidisciplinary projects is that they provide a way to gain knowledge about other disciplines. Multidisciplinary collaborations therefore contribute to the lifelong learning of researchers. Moreover, this knowledge is the latest and most practical. There is more knowledge shared by working together. Multidisciplinary projects facilitate exchanges between laboratories. Additionally, when you read articles from other disciplines, you are limited by the content of what is published. By working collaboratively with researchers from other disciplines, you will be able to better understand their hypotheses and methodologies. It's much richer. Most people agree that multidisciplinary projects are a way to build a new network of researchers and approach people from the...... middle of article ......h other at the center of the consortium and new entrants at the periphery. It can therefore rightly be concluded that, despite its many merits, multidisciplinary research suffers from problems that can only be resolved with care and caution. Indeed, “policymakers and research funders greatly encourage multidisciplinary research, and it is generally considered a “good thing.” Yet the reality is that this is often very difficult to implement. For example, the definition and evaluation of results (e.g., prototypes, patents, or articles) varies across disciplines, and the results of multidisciplinary work might well be considered below the standards that each discipline seeks to impose on itself . work. Consequently, those who engage in multidisciplinary work lose rather than gain credibility in their own "home discipline". ».’.
