Abstract
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.

Academy of Management JournalBuilding Better Causal Theories: A Fuzzy Set Approach to Typologies in Organization Research
5,377 Citations2011Peer C. Fiss
This work develops a novel theoretical perspective on causal core and periphery, which is based on how elements of a configuration are connected to outcomes, and empirically investigates configurations based on the Miles and Snow typology using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA).

Academy of Management ReviewA set-theoretic approach to organizational configurations
2,143 Citations2007Peer C. Fiss
It is argued that research on organizational configurations has been limited by a mismatch between theory and methods and introduced set-theoretic methods as a viable alternative for overcoming this mismatch.

Proper health-protection briefing was associated with greater use of protective devices and lower frequency of health problems, however, among seamen the results indicate poorer dissemination of information and the need of specific guidelines for removing fuel-oil at sea.

The citation attractivity of these publications shows that international scientific collaboration is particularly advantageous for less advanced countries, but also highly industrialised countries benefit from it.

Opposites Attract? Opportunities and Challenges for Integrating Large-N QCA and Econometric Analysis

It is argued that there are two aspects in particular that need to be addressed for QCA to achieve its full potential as a method covering both small-W and large-W situations and that integrating QCA findings into a regression framework or a lattice-theoretic analysis that draws on recent work in lattice theory is needed.

181 Citations2004Yinian Gu
The results indicate that R&D expenditures were actually not proportional to research productivity or citation counts, and the field of KM might have been evolving an interdisciplinary theory that is developing at the boundaries of scientific disciplines.
Journal of Gambling StudiesIdentifying X-Consumers Using Causal Recipes: “Whales” and “Jumbo Shrimps” Casino Gamblers
108 Citations2011Arch G. Woodside, Mann Zhang
The study here applies QCA to offer configurations that are sufficient in identifying “whales” and “jumbo shrimps” among X-casino gamblers and supports the principle that not all X-consumers are alike.

USA researchers maintain a leadership position in the production of scientific articles in the fields of Preventive Medicine, Occupational/Environmental Medicine and Epidemiology, at a level similar to other scientific disciplines, while USA contribution to science in the field of Public Health is by all means outstanding.
