[Purpose/Significance] Interdisciplinary research has emerged as a key driver of knowledge innovation, its essence being integration of knowledge from different disciplines. A deep and nuanced understanding of the research content of interdisciplinary knowledge integration is essential to foster innovation beyond traditional academic boundaries. Most of the research reviews on interdisciplinary research summarize theories, concepts and indicators from the macro level, while the content of interdisciplinary knowledge integration at the micro level is scattered, and lacks systematicity and logic. Therefore, this study attempts to classify and summarize the research methods, research content and research ideas involved in order to provide reference for scholars and researchers engaged in interdisciplinary knowledge integration. [Method/Process] Based on Web of Science (WOS) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database as the primary data sources, we reviewed the relevant literature on interdiscipl
