Dear community,
does anyone have any suggestion which approach or method could be used during scientific writing, if one has a variety of qualitative concepts and needs to reduce the amount of concepts, by clustering related concepts?
In other words if for instance we have 20 concepts and it is recommended to sum up related concepts in groups - is there any good book or scientific work on this approach?
Thank you a lot for any suggestion and the extension of the toolbox :-)
If you only have 20 concepts to group, you can occupy a conceptual map including taxonomic and patonomic relations between them. The use of concept maps or class diagram can helps in this task. See for example https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783540393894 . Good luck!
Thank you very much for the suggestion! I am going to read about these concepts into more detail. Surely class diagram is known from the field of the requirements engineering, but i did not consider to use it to cluster theoretical and qualitative concepts. Great hint!
