Abstract
Abstract:Academia prizes interdisciplinarity. But what of publishing interdisciplinary journals? They hold the promise of appealing to two different disciplines yet run the risk of appealing to neither. Here we consider one interdisciplinary field, the medical humanities, and undertake a thought experiment: What questions should a publisher ask when considering the possibility of starting a new interdisciplinary journal?
期刊介绍：
For more than 40 years, the Journal of Scholarly Publishing has been the authoritative voice of academic publishing. The journal combines philosophical analysis with practical advice and aspires to explain, argue, discuss, and question the large collection of new topics that continually arise in the publishing field. JSP has also examined the future of scholarly publishing, scholarship on the web, digitization, copyright, editorial policies, computer applications, marketing, and pricing models. It is the indispensable resource for academics and publishers that addresses the new challenges resulting from changes in technology and funding and from innovations in production and publishing.
