Abstract Single discipline fails to conduct in-depth analysis and systematic research on complicated, comprehensive, and integrative problems. Therefore, interdisciplinary research (IDR), which has the potential to solve critical challenges of social development, has gained importance. Based on the bibliographic information of IDR publications, this paper presents a landscape of IDR in the field of Information Science & Library Science (IS&LS), including distribution of countries, leading institutions, core authors, main journals, etc. Furthermore, bibliographic coupling analysis is applied to explore the most-addressed research topics. This systematic analysis of IDR publication provides an overview of current research progress, which is beneficial to promote further exploration of IDR in China.
