Reflection on identifying the concept of "interdisciplinary" and the history of its theoretical literature in Iran

Interdisciplinary is a new approach to research and education. This approach is very necessary for a variety of practical perspectives. However, the impoverishment of its theoretical literature is one of the barriers to its development. This article is written using an analytical-descriptive-interpretive method and using library resources. This attempts to give a clear idea of the concept of 'interdisciplinary' and identify the theoretical literature of this new field in Iran. According to this study, the life of the interdisciplinary approach in our country is just over two decades. The subject of interdisciplinary studies is a "complex" one. Complexity can be defined as "studying the behavior of systems". In addition, the interdisciplinary path passes through several specialized disciplines. The "interdisciplinary" semantic network consists of six concepts: "Integration", "the use of some specialized knowledge", "dynamic dialectics", "complex subject", "process" and "knowledge-added value". Among these components, "integration" has a central role. According to Integration, the difference between the actual intersection and the fake intersection is determined.
