Rapid globalization in the post-modern era has triggered swift social, cultural and economic changes that simply cannot be understood from the perspective of a single discipline. The complex needs of new century have created new academic trends especially in social and liberal sciences and paved the road toward emerging interdisciplinary studies. Increasingly, large number of academics conduct interdisciplinary research and analyze their data using both quantitative and qualitative methods, but the number of journals to disseminate interdisciplinary research remains extremely low.
