Kathryn McEwan; Melissa Girling; Angela Bate; Joanne Atkinson; Amanda Clarke; Sonia Dalkin – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2024
A crucial part of theory-driven realist thinking is retroduction, the process of looking backwards for explanation of how and why things may be.

Clapham, Andrew – Journal of Educational Change, 2023
Educators working in museums, zoos, and botanic gardens are increasingly required to demonstrate impact.
