The paper examines the concept of 'triangulation' drawn from trigonometry as a method that has been applied in social research since 1959. It involves a combination of methods, both qualitative and quantitative, to cross-check the validity of data. Different types of triangulation are described, its metaphorical ambiguity is argued.
