TLDR
A list from A to Z of twenty-six proposals regarding what a “good” QCAbased research entails, both with regard to QCA as a research approach and as an analytical technique are presented.Abstract:
As a relatively new methodological tool, QCA is still a work in progress. Standards of good practice are needed in order to enhance the quality of its applications. We present a list from A to Z of twenty-six proposals regarding what a “good” QCAbased research entails, both with regard to QCA as a research approach and as an analytical technique. Our suggestions are subdivided into three categories: criteria referring to the research stages before, during, and after the analytical moment of data analysis. Th is listing can be read as a guideline for authors, reviewers, and readers of QCA.read more
