Abstract Societal impact of academic research has been high on both policy and scientific agendas for several decades. Scholars increasingly focus processes when analyzing societal impact, often inspired by the concept ‘productive interactions’. Building this concept, we assert that do not take place in isolation.

Conceptually, we position identity at the intersection global scientific fields and national science policies. We argue that degree alignment or misalignment between two can create coherent identities, on contrary, tensions in academics' identity. Empirically, use disciplines philosophy anthropology proxies for social sciences humanities (SSH). The study is based...
