1/ I'm sure the STS folks can say this better but, Single-author papers or projects aren't interdisciplinary. They can't be.

Ehm, what if that single author is an expert in two or more fields?

They exist at after a certain stage of scholarship, maybe? Like, they need enough cross-collaboration I think to have a firm research program? (I wouldn't know though. I'm [still] but an egg.) Has this been your interdisciplinary experience?

More common path is sequential training: expert in one field who subsequently learns another. Most likely due to academic structure, though.

Yes, that definitely feels like part of it, too.

Academic structures are still struggling to do true interdisciplinary faculty development given the general tendency to have a parent Department, which rarely place the same weight on the interdisciplinary work.

One of the biggest problem with interdisciplinary work is having reviewers from different fields all trashing the methods from the field they are not trained in, and the editor not realizing that the reviewers are in effect neutralizing each other's complaints.

Oh yea, definitely! And, the whole premise is kinda, "hey this problem isn't neatly in your silo, so you're methods and your methods alone may not detect the signal I'm trying to amplify" which makes "use my method" a poor Rx. (I gotta rework what's bugging me now ;))
