Multidisciplinary Sciences is an interdisciplinary research category that brings together studies crossing traditional scientific fields, including health, environmental science, agriculture, engineering, computer science, materials science, and social science. In Bangladesh’s 2025 Web of Science-indexed research profile, Multidisciplinary Sciences represented the dominant research category, with 1,242 records. The publication pattern reflects strong integration of scientific disciplines to address complex national and global challenges, particularly public health, climate change, food security, clean energy, antimicrobial resistance, and technological innovation. This overview summarizes Bangladesh’s leading researchers, institutions, research topics, Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) contributions, international collaborations, and major publishers within this multidisciplinary research landscape.
