Because trying to gain expertise and familiarity with the literature in multiple subject areas can be a difficult and discouraging, researchers leading interdisciplinary projects may experience a lack of support and guidance. Plus, the future is uncertain. Interdisciplinary researchers run the risk of ending up being an expert in nothing. Notable subject-specific journals perceive interdisciplinary research as lacking impact in any one discipline. Not to mention, presenting at subject-specific conferences may turn out to be a bust too.
