Best wishes, Christopher Abstract: (Joint work with Jaakko Kuorikoski) The paper argues for the epistemic rationale of triangulation, that is, the use of multiple and independent sources of evidence to ascertain whether or not a phenomenon is an artifact of a particular method. It claims that triangulation is better understood as an epistemological strategy employed for the purpose of controlling for the likely errors and biases of particular data-generating procedures. It uses this perspective to address four challenges that cast doubt on the epistemic significance of triangulation.
