Scientific-visualization research is, nearly by necessity, interdisciplinary. In addition to their collaborators in application domains (for example, cell biology), researchers regularly build on close ties with disciplines related to visualization, such as graphics, human-computer interaction, and cognitive science. One of these ties is the connection between visualization and interaction research. This isn't a new direction for scientific visualization (see the "Early Connections" sidebar). However, momentum recently seems to be increasing toward integrating visualization research (for example, effective visual presentation of data) with interaction research (for example, innovative interactive techniques that facilitate manipulating and exploring data). We see evidence of this trend in several places, including the visualization literature and conferences.
科学可视化研究几乎必然是跨学科的。除了与应用领域（如细胞生物学）的合作者外，研究人员还经常与可视化相关学科建立紧密联系，如图形学、人机交互和认知科学。其中一种联系是可视化与交互研究之间的关联。这对科学可视化来说并非新方向（见“早期关联”侧边栏）。然而，最近将可视化研究（如数据的有效视觉呈现）与交互研究（如便于操作和探索数据的创新交互技术）整合的势头似乎正在增强。我们在包括可视化文献和会议在内的多个地方都看到了这一趋势的证据。
