Abstract
Mixed methods research (MMR) is inherently a boundary spanning practice (Archibald, 2016). Common to this understanding is that boundary spanning occurs over the methodological borderlines of qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Equally relevant is the boundary spanning that takes place within and between investigative teams, communities, stakeholder groups, and bodies of knowledge. Bridging across boundaries attends to the spirit of diversity characteristic of MMR (Greene, 2007), enables collective responses to complex social problems (Lucero et al., 2018; Poth, 2018), provides opportunities to approach persistent challenges from new angles (Johnson et al., 2007)
混合方法研究(MMR)本质上是一种跨越边界的实践(Archibald, 2016)。这种理解的共同点是,边界跨越发生在定性和定量研究方法的方法论边界上。同样重要的是调查小组、社区、利益相关者团体和知识体系内部和之间的边界跨越。跨越边界的桥梁关注了MMR的多样性精神(Greene, 2007),使集体应对复杂的社会问题成为可能(Lucero et al., 2018;Poth, 2018),提供了从新的角度处理持续挑战的机会(Johnson et al., 2007)。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Mixed Methods Research serves as a premiere outlet for ground-breaking and seminal work in the field of mixed methods research. Of primary importance will be building an international and multidisciplinary community of mixed methods researchers. The journal''s scope includes exploring a global terminology and nomenclature for mixed methods research, delineating where mixed methods research may be used most effectively, creating the paradigmatic and philosophical foundations for mixed methods research, illuminating design and procedure issues, and determining the logistics of conducting mixed methods research. JMMR invites articles from a wide variety of international perspectives, including academics and practitioners from psychology, sociology, education, evaluation, health sciences, geography, communication, management, family studies, marketing, social work, and other related disciplines across the social, behavioral, and human sciences.
