Characterizing interdisciplinarity in drug research: A translational science perspective

作者:

Highlights:

• Few studies have managed to deeply examine the patterns and the roles of the interdisciplinarity in drug research.

• A novel bibliometric perspective, i.e., the translational science perspective, is used for analyzing interdisciplinarity in drug research.

• Four bibliometric indicators are proposed for characterizing interdisciplinarity of drug research.

• The results show that research within cell/molecular discipline needs more persistence to shorten the translational lags in drug research.
