Combining complexity-framed research methods for social research

Research methods with roots in complexity science are increasingly popular social research. However, they not widespread and have potential to deliver value more fully consistently research methodology. One reason for this is that often used alone, or only traditional methods. We attempt support catalyse the use of complexity-framed combination research, by systematically reviewing which framed language (not including methods) been combined, how, why. do make clear state-of-the-art combinations consider gaps new combinations. find many examples different together, simulation well-represented. Most appear recent years despite methods, interest complexity, being around much longer. identify four types combination, seven purposes, future directions.
