In this paper, we propose new means to quantify journals' interdisciplinarity by exploiting the bipartite relation between scholars and journals where such scholars do publish. Our proposed approach is entirely data-driven (i.e., unsupervised): we just rely on the spectral properties of the bipartite bibliometric network, without requiring any a-priory classification or labeling of scholars or journals. Our approach is based on two subsequent steps. First, the structure of the bipartite graph is used to co-cluster both journals and scholars in a same low-dimensional space. Then, we measure a journal's interdisciplinarity by computing various diversity metrics (Shannon entropy, Simpson diversity, Rao-Stirling index) over the journal's distance with respect to these clusters. The proposed approach is evaluated over a dataset comprising 1258 journals and 2570 scholars in the information and communication technology field.
