Integrative Qualitative Systems Mapping (IQSM) approach for knowledge integration in transdisciplinary research

Systems approaches provide tools to address the increasing complexity of societal challenges. However, current qualitative system map (QSM) approaches lack the ability to visualize findings early on in a research process and systematically document and integrate qualitative data in an efficient, low-resources manner. Therefore, we propose a novel application for QSM – Integrative Qualitative System Map (IQSM) – which was developed in the WaterStressAT project.
