Research	R0052 — Methodology Claims
Run	2026-03-31
Claim	C013

Claim: Different domains use different terms for the same phenomenon, and single-term searches create systematic blind spots when searching across disciplines.

BLUF: The claim is accurate and well-established in the literature on interdisciplinary research. Multiple studies document terminological barriers across disciplines and the resulting blind spots in cross-disciplinary literature searches.

Probability: Almost certain (95-99%) | Confidence: High
