An overview of qualitative comparative analysis: A bibliometric analysis

This study is organized in two parts. We conduct a general analysis of the use of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), and a bibliometric study of the use of QCA to analyze the specificities of the research publications that apply this methodology. Our results show the differences in quantitative terms of the three variants of this methodology: fsQCA, csQCA, and mvQCA. (C) 2016 Journal of Innovation & Knowledge.
