Network for Transdisciplinary Research td-net
Recommended reading in inter- and transdisciplinarity: Introductory texts (td-net Delphi study 2013). An online collection of publications
td-net (2014)
The rapid growth of published literature on inter- and transdisciplinary research and teaching makes it increasingly difficult to find the most relevant literature about a topic. The td-net therefore initiated a new project that aims at facilitating the search for relevant literature about different topics related to inter- and transdisciplinary research and teaching. At the start of the project we conducted a Delphi study where we asked experts “Which publications would you recommend as first readings to a (young) scientist that wants to become familiar with the key concepts and thinking in the field of inter- and transdisciplinarity?”. Through this study we generated the following list with recommended reading

A growing number of inter- and transdisciplinary (ITD) toolkits provide methods, processes, concepts, heuristics, frameworks, and other resources for designing and implementing ITD research. A brief overview of the currently fragmented toolkits landscape is provided, fleshed out through descriptions of four toolkits.
