Finally, the main application interface of the InCites is introduced. Researcher Wuyishan, chief engineer of the China Institute of Science and Technology Information, gave a wonderful report on "How to Evaluate Interdisciplinary Research". Mr. Wu introduced his thoughts on the evaluation of interdisciplinary research from several aspects, such as "what is interdisciplinary", "case analysis of interdisciplinary research", "difficulties of interdisciplinary research" and "some thoughts. Then, Professor Liu Zhonglin of the University of Science and Technology of China introduced the definition of interdisciplinary on the topic of "modern interdisciplinary science and its disciplinary orientation", analyzed the origin of interdisciplinary from Chinese culture, explained the interdisciplinary movement from the perspective of the historical development of science, introduced the history and current situation of interdisciplinary research in the world and China, and put forward a very constructive idea of establishing an interdisciplinary category structure.
