Abstract

Aim/purpose – The paper explores the issue of building interdisciplinary research teams from the point of view of the evaluation requirements for Polish researchers and research units. The main aim of the paper is to determine the possibility of creating interdisciplinary research teams involving management and economics researchers. Design/methodology/approach – The author searched 30,404 journals. An assumption was made that team creation should reflect the evaluation requirements of several measurement factors of similarity between disciplines, these were duly developed. An analysis of the possibility of developing effective interdisciplinary teams to maximise the possible number of places for publications and points scored was performed and discussed. The analysis was performed by considering all of the scored journals useful for the development of young researchers and well-regarded journals publishing original research prepared by experienced scientists. Findings – The analysis indicates that the relevant journals are not evenly spread among the various scientific disciplines examined. Considering the possibility of finding many shared journals for publication while achieving favourable interdisciplinary research outcomes and scoring a high number of evaluation points, researchers in the fields of economics as well as finance and management and quality sciences should mainly cooperate with researchers in the field of socio-economic geography and sociological sciences. Research implications/limitations – The analysis was based on the Polish national research evaluation system, which may limit the generalisation of the results. Originality/value/contribution – The results presented in the paper may be useful for researchers, research team managers and authorities who run research units and create effective research teams.
