Cross-Disciplinary Research Collaboration Finder

When to Use This Skill

• identifying collaboration opportunities across fields
• finding experts in complementary disciplines
• translating methodologies between scientific domains
• building interdisciplinary research teams
• discovering funding for interdisciplinary projects
• mapping knowledge transfer pathways

Quick Start

from scripts.interdisciplinary import CollaborationFinder

finder = CollaborationFinder()

# Find collaborators in different field
collaborators = finder.find_experts(
    my_expertise="machine_learning",
    target_field="immunology",
    collaboration_type="co_authorship",
    min_publications=10,
    h_index_threshold=15
)

if not collaborators:
    print("No collaborators found — try lowering min_publications or h_index_threshold.")
