» Bibliography

The bibliographical database contains journal articles containing methodological work on or empirical applications of QCA or related Boolean-algebraic techniques. Empirical applications are considered to be publications whose primary focus is on a substantive empiricial question rather than on QCA as a method. Methodological publications, in contrast, focus on methods rather than substantive empirical questions, although they may use empirical data for illustrative purposes. Agenda-setting articles introduce the method of QCA to a particular research area.

There are no restrictions in terms of language or area of research. Updates are made regularly, but it is impossible for us to keep track of all publications. Any notification regarding newly-published work of the type listed in this database is therefore most welcome, ideally together with an electronic version thereof. Please send your notification to Alrik Thiem. "Online first" articles will be recorded, but only included in the bibliography once fully published "in print".

Entries have not been selected on merit, and we invite users to replicate findings. When raw or set data is available, it is indicated below the abstract by green box links. Clicking them will open (left-click) or download (right-click) the file as a tab-separated text (txt) or comma-separated value file (csv). Data files may look slightly different from their corresponding tables in the original publication in order to make them suitable for software import. If STATA or R code that has been used in the original publication is available, it is also indicated below the reference abstract by a yellow box link.
