Abstract

The rapid growth of mixed methods research over the past two decades matches what Fujimura (1989) called a “bandwagon effect.” This study compares articles from the Journal of Mixed Methods Research, representing the core of the field, to a more peripheral set of randomly drawn articles. A content analysis of the two sets of articles shows strong differences, with the random sample dominated by convergent designs and lower integration between the qualitative and quantitative results. This research contributes to the field of mixed methods by showing systematic differences between articles published in its flagship journal versus a broad sample of articles from outside this core set. In addition, it offers recommendations for how to reduce this disparity.

谁在旅行车上？混合方法研究的核心与外围

在过去的二十年里，混合方法研究的快速增长与藤村（1989）所说的“潮流效应”相匹配。这项研究将代表该领域核心的《混合方法研究杂志》的文章与一组更外围的随机抽取的文章进行了比较。对这两组文章的内容分析显示出强烈的差异，随机样本以收敛设计为主，定性和定量结果之间的集成度较低。这项研究通过显示其旗舰期刊上发表的文章与该核心期刊之外的广泛文章样本之间的系统差异，为混合方法领域做出了贡献。此外，它还就如何减少这种差距提出了建议。

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.
