Abstract

Academia prizes interdisciplinarity. But what of publishing interdisciplinary journals? They hold the promise of appealing to two different disciplines yet run the risk of appealing to neither. Here we consider one interdisciplinary field, the medical humanities, and undertake a thought experiment: What questions should a publisher ask when considering the possibility of starting a new interdisciplinary journal?
