Recently, attention has turned to the challenge of implementing critical realism in applied social research. An edited volume examined the use of critical realism for studying organizations (Edwards, O'Mahoney, and Vincent 2014[9]). Other authors (Fletcher 2016,[10] Parr 2015,[11] Bunt 2018,[12] Hoddy 2018[13]) have discussed which specific research methodologies and methods are conducive (or not) to research guided by critical realism as a philosophy of science.
