I'm not really a fan of case studies, but I'm even less a fan of pseudo-scientific research based on opinion surveys. Not that, in the end, it makes much of a difference. "This analysis suggests that researchers tended to choose a quantitative rather than a qualitative approach, even for case studies." The authors note that "This might suggest that more interpretive, hermeneutical, or qualitative research is needed." This is especially the case given that the quantitative data is geographically skewed (and, I would argue, unrepresentative in other ways).
