Realist Resource Finder
The realist community is gradually building up a resource bank of articles, videos, and reference sources.
Much advice has also been offered via the RAMESES discussion list.
But how do you identify them?
Three methods you can use for realist searching are detailed below
TheRealisting
(http://tinyurl.com/therealisting is a customised Google Search Engine that searches realist-rich resources)
Simply type in a query e.g. “retroduction” or” “realist interviews” or “Geoff Wong” (as you would in plain Google) and once you scroll beyond the adverts* Ad you will have a list of relevant Realist materials with URLs to their source.
