My Awesomest Network, I am starting my Ph.D. studies and I have some questions and doubts concerning it. Could I write them down here, pleaswe? First of them is how can I join disciplines as sociology, management, economics, mathematics, informatics and other similaer items to make a complex holistic interdisciplinary analysis and coherent study of pointed fields.
Thank You very much for all in advance
The first point is to read a lot from all of these fields. A good entry point are review articles which summarize large areas of a discipline and may point out open questions. Also, for a PhD, it is important to be aware of your personal, ongoing interests. Maybe these interests coincide with some open questions in the research domain. You can combine different fields in many ways, e.g. using methods from one discipline for problems in another one, or generalizing open questions into a more general question, or creating a new method by combining elements of existing methods, or transfering one model to another context, etc. It is up to your interests, your creativity, your questions! Always remember that each research discipline is simply a different perspective onto the world. Thus, you can pick any part of the world and look at it from all these different perspectives.
