But mixed methods might be a good choice if you want to meaningfully integrate both of these questions in one research study. For example, you could use a mixed methods design to investigate whether areas perceived as dangerous have high accident rates, or to explore why specific areas are mor...
In this article, we investigate two studies focusing on farm investment in Ontario's Greenbelt, Canada, to assess the use of mixed methods research in agricultural economics. We critically analyze the integration of the results of an econometric (quantitative) analysis and the results of a mental...
The value of qualitative methods: Interviews with users can answer all manner of questions. For example, the research team might want to find out how customers make their way through certain parts of the interface. Usability testing is an opportunity to watch users as they attempt various tasks...
Mixed-methods approaches can be used to: (i) gain a more complete understanding of a research problem, (ii) explain initial results from one method with results from another, (iii) generate instruments, for example, survey tools and interventions, (iv) evaluate services, and (v) optimize ...
Is there a match between the methods (B) and the assumptions (C)? Is there a match between the implications (E) and the purpose of the question (A)? For example, one might carry out research, as in the early-schooleffectiveness studies (Olson, 1986), in which the purpose is to ...
The research software has permitted a more holistic analysis and understanding of parasitic weed emergence in the central region of Malawi, and hopefully, improved research and policy for smallholder weed CPs. The addition of qualitative methods (e.g. thematic analysis) helped unveil the context-spec...
Fetters1 and Dawn Freshwater2 At the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR), we welcome and encourage methodologi- cal/theoretical and original empirical mixed methods submissions. But to make the odds better for a competitive submission, we wanted to become more transparent about our ...

The purpose of this article is to illustrate the dynamic process involved in developing and utilizing a theoretical model in a mixed methods...
Methods: Over the course of the semester (winter 2010), we will conduct a series of case studieseach of the thirteen seminars constitutes a case. Participants are 12 graduate students at McGill University and three co-instructors with qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods research backgrounds,...
