This scoping literature review examines the topic of interdisciplinary doc- toral research supervision. Interdisciplinary doctoral research programs are expanding in response to encouragement from funding agencies and enthu- siasm from faculty and students. In an acknowledgement that the search for creative and innovative solutions to complex problems is best addressed through interdisciplinary collaborations, research-intensive universities are increasingly encouraging interdisciplinary projects and programs. The ex- pansion of interdisciplinary research to the context of doctoral research may impact several core components of the doctorate: the enactment of the stu- dent–supervisor relationship, the process of forming and working with a su- pervisory committee, and the process and outcomes of doctoral research. In order to ensure that interdisciplinary doctoral supervision occurs in a posi- tive and effective way, it is necessary to understand the distinct needs and challenges of interdisciplinary students and their supervisors, through schol- arship about this phenomenon.
