Research on Priority Areas Selection and Identification Methods of Key Scientific Issues in the Context of Interdisciplinarity
Assessing the development trend of disciplines and science and technology,exploring innovative organizational modes and theoretical methods for strategic research on disciplinary development are related to the selection of priority areas and future strategic layout of disciplines.Based on the empirical analysis of the development strategy of nanobiology discipline,this study constructed a two-dimensional quadrant model of discipline development strategy based on the perspective of think tanks by examining the general pattern of disciplinary intersection.By integrating quantitative and qualitative methods,including bibliometric analysis,patent analysis,technology foresight,the identification of key research directions,and consensus formation based on expert judgment,this study aimed to identify priority areas and key scientific issues in the field of nanobiology.A list of 8 priority areas and 6 key scientific issues in nanobiology was developed.This study aims to effectively promote the integrated development,layout optimization,and deep intersection of disciplines,and to further reveal the innovative mechanisms of organizational construction and knowledge production in scientific community.
