This sampling strategy was appropriate to target the Maker population relevant to the research questions, whereas representative sampling may not provide a complete picture of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and pathways of Makers necessary to inform theory generation.

As such, it competes with, and could potentially replace, the historically dominating, but increasingly disreputable, foundationalist picture of knowledge as resting on a secure base of indubitable fact, as well as with other forms of foundationalism such as the view that some beliefs enjoy non-doxastic support that requires no support of its own.
The bipartite citation network therefore provides a general, exhaustive picture of knowledge flow between the 187 database articles, whereas the unipartite co-citation network gives an insight into the flow of theoretical knowledge only.
