How to cite

How to cite the ThSQCA package, the method paper, blog posts, and tools.

The method

Toyoda, Y. (2026). Threshold-sweep QCA: threshold dependence as an analytical dimension. Quality & Quantity. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11135-026-03092-3

The R package

Run this in R to get the citation for the version you installed:

citation("ThSQCA")

A blog post

Use the author, year, title, blog name, and the URL of the post, with the date you accessed it. For example:

Toyoda, Y. (year). Title of the post. Yuki Toyoda’s Blog. https://im-research-yt.github.io/posts/post-name/ (accessed day month year).

The tools

The tools are for learning, so please do not treat them as the only source for a published result. If you used a tool, cite the tool by name and URL, and say that you confirmed the numbers with R or other software. Each tool can create an R script that repeats the calculation.
