Abstract
This October 2022 issue of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) includes an editorial, a commentary and rebuttal, four articles, and a media review. In the editorial, Fetters (2022) has articulated multiple reasons for adopting naming conventions in the field of mixed methods research. He has focused on mixed methods designs and on naming convention to reflect designs that move beyond core mixed methods designs into combinations with different levels or aspects of research, for example, philosophical, paradigmatic, theoretical, analytical, and methodological. Specifically, Fetters has proposed a taxonomy inspired by the biological sciences that can include levels beyond the methods for a host of designs referred to by such names as advanced designs, intersected designs, scaffolded designs, and embedded designs. He has provided recommendations for authors submitting to JMMR, and next steps for the mixed methods community. Next, this issue includes a commentary by Maxwell (2022) and a rebuttal by Morgan (2022), following an interesting conversation thread in the journal about the use of the term “triangulation” in mixed methods research and distinction from the aspects of integrating quantitative and qualitative methods (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2017, 2019; Hammersley, 2018; Maxwell, 2019; Morgan, 2018, 2019a, 2019b; Sandelowski, 2018). Regarding the four articles published in this October 2022 issue, in the first article, Doran et al. (2022), with affiliations in sociology, nursing, social work, and social statistics, examined the use of narrative methodology with mixed methods research. The authors define narrative mixed methods research as a mixed methods approach that is shaped by stories about the phenomenon under investigation (p. 3). They provided an example from studying the value and impact of social support on the treatment and quality of life of older people with cancer. The authors conducted an
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.
