Facebook Group
The Facebook group “Qualitative Comparative Analysis and Fuzzy Sets” is more than a social media community about QCA. The group provides a venue where QCA researchers at any stage of their analysis can post questions and get targeted feedback regarding their on-going research. A lively and active group, it is moderated by leading QCA experts and members of COMPASSS. To join the group, just log into your Facebook account and send the request to become a member.
