The most pressing global challenges have been summarized in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Given the complex feedbacks and interdependencies among them, fulfilling these goals requires a holistic approach leading to profound transitions. The food-energy-water nexus is often proposed to be one such holistic approach. However, to date no consistent definition of the nexus concept exists, while research interest in the nexus rapidly grows. Therefore, in this paper, the nexus is defined as a concept of systems thinking. A nexus systems thinking test is developed that can be used as a new way of categorizing nexus research. To examine the test's viability and suitability, it is applied to a sample data set of nexus-related research papers. By means of a multi- and mixed methods document analysis it is analyzed if the papers conceptualize the nexus approach as a systems thinking concept. The results show that all papers meet the four system criteria. Different emphasis, however, is put on certain aspects. The nexus systems thinking test proved to be a viable systematic method to investigate if and in which way nexus research incorporates a systems thinking perspective. It does not only offer a new way of categorizing nexus related research, but also allows assessing its quality from a comprehensive nexus perspective. The test thus provides valuable and systematic understanding of a rapidly developing, central research field within sustainability science.

开发联系系统思维测验–定性的多种和混合方法分析

联合国可持续发展目标总结了最紧迫的全球挑战。考虑到它们之间的复杂反馈和相互依存关系,要实现这些目标,就需要采取一种全面的方法来实现深刻的转变。经常将食物—能量—水联系作为一种这样的整体方法。然而,迄今为止,对联系概念的定义尚无一致定义,而对联系的研究兴趣迅速增长。因此,在本文中,联系被定义为系统思考的概念。开发了一个联系系统思维测验,可以用作对联系研究进行分类的新方法。为了检查测试的可行性和适用性,将其应用于与关系相关的研究论文的样本数据集。通过多方法和混合方法文档分析,分析了论文是否将联系方法概念化为系统思维概念。结果表明,所有论文均符合四个系统标准。但是,在某些方面有不同的强调。事实证明,联系系统思维测验是一种可行的系统方法,可以用来研究联系研究是否以及以何种方式纳入了系统思维观点。它不仅提供了一种对关联研究进行分类的新方法,而且还可以从一个全面的关联角度评估其质量。因此,该测试为可持续发展科学中快速发展的中央研究领域提供了宝贵而系统的理解。但是,在某些方面。事实证明,联系系统思维测验是一种可行的系统方法,可以用来研究联系研究是否以及以何种方式纳入了系统思维观点。它不仅提供了一种对关联研究进行分类的新方法,而且还可以从一个全面的关联角度评估其质量。因此,该测试为可持续发展科学中快速发展的中央研究领域提供了宝贵而系统的理解。但是,在某些方面。事实证明,联系系统思维测验是一种可行的系统方法,可以用来研究联系研究是否以及以何种方式纳入了系统思维观点。它不仅提供了一种对关联研究进行分类的新方法,而且还可以从一个全面的关联角度评估其质量。因此,该测试为可持续发展科学中快速发展的中央研究领域提供了宝贵而系统的理解。
