Abstract
This article investigates the combinations of methods. It introduces the dis-
tinction between method triangulation, method parallelization and corre-
sponding subtypes along the dimension of data generation and data analysis
methods. While scholars often refer to the triangulation when describing in
fact parallelization, the two should be clearly distinguished: method triangu-
lation is based on a vertical logic of combining methods to aggregate data or
data analysis techniques for the score of one ex
