“By making ‘contextualization’ the other key dimension in our matrix (Figure 1), we were taking the stance that theorizing from case studies requires context to be treated as explanatory, not as descriptive, material (Pierson, 2004).”

“In IB, unlike in other fields (e.g., Abend, 2008; Cornelissen et al., 2021; Delbridge & Fiss, 2013; Gregor, 2006), we are yet to have a debate about what theory is,4 or the potential that lies in diversifying our styles of theorizing.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
