The comparative methods, small N, QCA and Fuzzy sets international bibliographical database

This database is maintained by the Louvain-la-Neuve team. It ambitions to attain a broad coverage of the worldwide scientific production , in 8 specific sections (about 2000 references):

Section

Selectiveness/exhaustiveness

Comparative methods selective
Small N approach / general discussion exhaustive
QCA analysis - discussion (exhaustive)  

QCA analysis - applications (full list)

exhaustive
Fuzzy sets / fs/QCA software
(Discussion and Applications)
exhaustive
MSDO/MDSO exhaustive
Other small N techniques selective
Boolean algebra selective

"Scientific production" is understood in its most general meaning. It covers a variety of references such as publications (books, book chapters, journal articles, on-line documents, ...) and unpublished documents (theses, dissertations, research projects, manuscripts, websites, ...). There is no restriction in terms of language.

This database is regularly updated. It is impossible for us to keep track of all new scientific production worldwide in the above-mentioned fields.

All useful information is therefore most welcome (including remarks, suggestions, critiques, …). You are particularly welcome to inform Damien BOL by e-mail of :

  • new documents/publications (books/articles/theses/papers/on-line documents, etc.);
  • missing documents/publications;
  • errors/missing items in the database entries;
  • abstracts of database entries;

Please indicate in which section(s) of the database you would suggest to insert the additional references you send.

Electronic or paper copies of documents/publications (to be sent to : Damien BOL, Centre de Politique Comparée, UCL, Place Montesquieu 1/7, B-1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) are also welcome.

Please note the following practical remarks :

  • all bibliographical lists are ordered as follows : author/date/title;
  • abstracts are located under each reference (whenever available in the database);
  • N.B. : a given reference can very well be found in more than one section of the database (as it often covers more than one field).

Most authors of the references collected in this database are also listed in the "small N people" list, with their e-mail addresses.
