The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Two-Level Theories and Fuzzy-Set Analysis (2005, methodology): “…to know all works that use two-level models, the structure of this framework does appear prominently in several other analyses, including Blake and Adolino (2001), Braumoeller (2003), Ertman (1997), Goertz (2003), Jacoby (2001), Kingdon (1984), Linz and Stepan (1996), and Wickham-Crowley (1996).”
Toward a Unified Theory of Causality (2008, methodology): “The Humean notion of sufficiency understood in terms of constant conjunction subsequently became the basis for the covering-law model of causation associated with mid-20th century positivists (e.g., Hempel, 1965; Nagel, 1961; Popper, 1959).”
IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE A REGRESSION EQUATION … BUT IT'S NOT! AN INTUITIVE APPROACH TO THE PRESENTATION OF QCA AND FS/QCA RESULTS (2006, methodology): “Thus, our advice to high N QCA users is to make use of the relevant statistical literature on modelling complexity already out there (e.g. Braumoeller 2003, Eliason & Stryker 2005, Seawright 2005).”
Between Complexity and Parsimony: Limited Diversity, Counterfactual Cases, and Comparative Analysis. (2005, methodology): “An attempt to address limited diversity, or "the curse of dimensionality," with Boolean logit and probit regression is offered by Braumoeller (2003).”
