The protection of minors based on the prevention of child sexual assault and crisis intervention is worthy of research and attention. Based on reviewing the existing literature, the necessity of ...strengthening the interdisciplinary research of related issues is expounded. It discusses the feasibility of strengthening the interdisciplinary research from the research ideas, contents and methods. It is concluded that “to strengthen based on child sexual assault prevention and crisis intervention of the protection of minors research to realistic innovation” the basic conclusion, put forward “Suggestions to concrete, measures to be effective, this is to ensure that the research work to achieve the expected priority” point of view.
This article analyses the effect of degree of interdisciplinarity on the citation impact of individual publications for four different scientific fields. We operationalise interdisciplinarity as ...disciplinary diversity in the references of a publication, and rather than treating interdisciplinarity as a monodimensional property, we investigate the separate effect of different aspects of diversity on citation impact: i.e. variety, balance and disparity. We use a Tobit regression model to examine the effect of these properties of interdisciplinarity on citation impact, controlling for a range of variables associated with the characteristics of publications. We find that variety has a positive effect on impact, whereas balance and disparity have a negative effect. Our results further qualify the separate effect of these three aspects of diversity by pointing out that all three dimensions of interdisciplinarity display a curvilinear (inverted U-shape) relationship with citation impact. These findings can be interpreted in two different ways. On the one hand, they are consistent with the view that, while combining multiple fields has a positive effect in knowledge creation, successful research is better achieved through research efforts that draw on a relatively proximal range of fields, as distal interdisciplinary research might be too risky and more likely to fail. On the other hand, these results may be interpreted as suggesting that scientific audiences are reluctant to cite heterodox papers that mix highly disparate bodies of knowledge--thus giving less credit to publications that are too groundbreaking or challenging.

The production of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the form of colloids has brought a paradigm shift in the design of new functional porous materials. Along with their intrinsic interest as porous ...solids, and contrary to their bulk powder counterparts, colloidal MOF particles can additionally be dispersed, shaped, functionalized, transformed and assembled in a controlled manner, conferring them further properties and applications. In this regard, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has become a pioneering MOF constituent of colloidal science. Today, the understanding of the role of synthetic parameters, learned after one decade of research, enables the production of monodisperse colloidal ZIF-8 particles with tunable dimensions and morphologies, offering the opportunity to develop new functional materials and composites with novel and promising functionalities. This tutorial review provides a useful guide to prepare ZIF-8 in its colloidal form, covering the published studies on the synthesis of homogeneous ZIF-8 particles with controlled size and shape. In addition, we present the most relevant advances in the development of colloidal ZIF-8 hybrid single-particles, reflecting the great potential and rapid development of this interdisciplinary research field. Finally, we highlight how formulation of ZIF-8 as colloids has led to the emergence of novel physicochemical phenomena that are useful for practical applications. This review aims at promoting the development of MOFs as colloids, taking ZIF-8 as a pioneering and successful case that clearly shows the benefits of bridging MOF chemistry and colloidal science.
As a pioneering MOF constituent of colloidal science, this tutorial summarizes the advances in the synthesis of colloidal ZIF-8.
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of distinctive porous crystalline materials constructed by metal ions/clusters and organic linkers. Owing to their structural diversity, functional ...adjustability, and high surface area, different types of MOF-based single metal sites are well exploited, including coordinately unsaturated metal sites from metal nodes and metallolinkers, as well as active metal species immobilized to MOFs. Furthermore, controllable thermal transformation of MOFs can upgrade them to nanomaterials functionalized with active single-atom catalysts (SACs). These unique features of MOFs and their derivatives enable them to serve as a highly versatile platform for catalysis, which has actually been becoming a rapidly developing interdisciplinary research area. In this review, we overview the recent developments of catalysis at single metal sites in MOF-based materials with emphasis on their structures and applications for thermocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis. We also compare the results and summarize the major insights gained from the works in this review, providing the challenges and prospects in this emerging field.

The explosive growth in fake news and its erosion to democracy, justice, and public trust has increased the demand for fake news detection and intervention. This survey reviews and evaluates methods ...that can detect fake news from four perspectives: the false
knowledge
it carries, its writing
style
, its
propagation
patterns, and the credibility of its
source
. The survey also highlights some potential research tasks based on the review. In particular, we identify and detail related fundamental theories across various disciplines to encourage interdisciplinary research on fake news. It is our hope that this survey can facilitate collaborative efforts among experts in computer and information sciences, social sciences, political science, and journalism to research fake news, where such efforts can lead to fake news detection that is not only efficient but, more importantly, explainable.
