抄録

The COVID-19 pandemic considerably affected the research community in personal and professional ways. Many projects were delayed or even canceled entirely. Yet, in a positive sense, the pandemic forced researchers to shift focus and examine emerging issues in real-time. In response to the enforced COVID-19 gap in face-to-face conferences, the podcast series “Lost in Citations” aimed to provide a space for open-access discourse. During a series of interviews with leading academics in the interdisciplinary field of the psychology of language learning (PLL), a “podcast narrative” emerged regarding (a) researcher labels (e.g., applied linguist, psychologist), (b) possible implications of these labels and (c) the value of interdisciplinary research. Although there was healthy disagreement, leading psychologists and applied linguists in the field of PLL agree that interdisciplinary research is challenging; therefore, steps need to be put in place to ensure quality. However, these steps should not limit creativity or individuals based on their degree title.
