A discipline is potentially relevant if the problem falls within its research domain but it is not known whether the discipline's experts have written about the problem. If they have not (and the literature search will reveal this), then the discipline is not relevant (although more advanced researchers might still consider such a discipline). If the discipline's experts have produced one or more insights into the problem, then the discipline is relevant. This description accurately describes what you are trying to determine in:
A) Step 4 - Conduct the Literature Review
B) Step 3 - Identify Relevant Disciplines
C) Step 2 - Justify an Interdisciplinary Response
D) Step 1 - Define the Problem or State the Research Question
