Abstract
Methodological plurality has been on the rise given the understanding that real-world phenomena often require more than single-method applications to be fully captured and effectively portrayed. One way of practicing plurality is methodological bricolage, where different methods are combined in an effort to capture empirical phenomena fully and authentically. At the same time, not much is known about how researchers practice bricolage and if combinations of any given method boost the plurality of methods in the citing article. In this paper, we specifically focus on combinations of qualitative methods which we label intra-methodological bricolage. It is adopted in just over one-third of the published articles, reflecting a high degree of adaptability and agency compared to adopting the standardized use of methods. The studies engaging with methodological bricolage, even if not explicitly labeled as such, present a noteworthy orientation towards openness and plurality.
