Case Study in Interdisciplinary Scientific Communication: A Decade of the INDECS Journal

Interdisciplinary scientific areas regularly develop unique methodologies, yet utilise the conventional communication modes to disseminate results of their researches. Objectives : This paper analyses whether a novel, interdisciplinary communication mode ca n be found in a gradually developing interdisciplinary journal. Methods/Approach: The content of the journal was categorised based on the characteristics attributed to the published papers . Statistical tests were performed to check for the overlapping cate gories. Results: A number of indicators, related to papers or to their authors, are introduced and quantified. Conclusions: Methodology utilised and data collected serve , on the one hand , as a referent set for treating the content of other interdisciplinary o r disciplinary scientific journals, and , on the other hand , as a set for comparison and extraction of universalities or specificities of the journals. Fluctuations accompanying a gradu al rise of the considered journal content prevent a definite answer to the question whether there are some emerging interdisciplinary communication novelties.
