Assessing Researcher Interdisciplinarity: A Case Study of the University of Hawaii NASA Astrobiology Institute [PDF]
In this study, we combine bibliometric techniques with a machine learning algorithm, the sequential Information Bottleneck, to assess the interdisciplinarity of research produced by the University of Hawaii NASA Astrobiology Institute (UHNAI). In particular, we cluster abstract data to evaluate Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge subject categories as ...

White Paper Towards a Fuller Understanding of Icy Satellite Seafloors, Interiors, and Habitability [PDF]
Icy satellites represent compelling astrobiological targets, but their rocky interiors must be better characterized. Fundamental research programs and thematic workshops promoting ocean world interdisciplinarity are key. Future missions to icy satellites should explicitly include objectives to characterize interfaces between rock and water or high ...

The epistemological status of Astrobiology: a problematic case of integration of scientific disciplines [PDF]
Astrobiology is a scientific discipline that studies life in the Universe. We call it a discipline and not a science because some authors have cast doubts over its epistemological status by calling it 'a science without an object of study'. As with astrophysics, the scientific nature of astrobiology is related to historical-narrative sciences and ...
