Abstract: Abstract Several distinct sorts of reflection are called for. All are often eschewed by researchers anxious to publish their results as quickly as possible. In some ways interdisciplinary analysis should be inherently reflective: the interdisciplinarian has to ask what theories and methods and phenomena and disciplines to engage, and it is hard to perform such steps without thinking a little bit about why certain choices are made. It may thus be that an explicitly reflective step is less needed in integrative research than in specialized research. However, if interdisciplinarians will be successful in gaining the attention of specialized researchers they may have to be more reflective: about how to enter the specialized scholarly discourse in an interesting and persuasive manner, and thus how to address those elements of their own research that may cause concern among the intended audience.
