Abstract
This July 2022 issue of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) includes an editorial, four articles, a commentary, and three media reviews. In the editorial, Poth et al. (2022) have collected discussions about mixed methods designs in a virtual special issue (VSI) based on selected articles published in JMMR. They included 13 readings, 10 empirical and methodological articles as well as three editorials that were published between 2008 and June, 2022. They conclude three points from analysis of this collection, a trend toward greater engagement with stakeholders in mixed methods research designs, a need for authors to be consistent and comprehensively use their design terminology throughout all sections of papers, and authentic or detailed reporting to facilitate the understanding of readers about the procedures employed. VSIs are prepared by chief or associate editors with purpose of identifying from previously articles published in JMMR perspectives on key contributions of the articles relative to the chosen theme (Fetters &Molina-Azorı́n, 2020). Previous VSIs have addressed timely topics of discussion in the field such as paradigms in mixed methods research (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2020), integration in mixed methods research (Guetterman et al., 2020), and quality in mixed methods research (Fàbregues et al., 2021). Additionally, Shannon-Baker (2022) examined publications from the field of education with a focus on designs, integration, and visual displays. VSI editorials are available open access under the collections link on the JMMR homepage. In the first article in this issue, Dion et al. (2022) with affiliations in health sciences have introduced Weight of Evidence as a transformative procedure to contextualize evidence in the understanding of relevant stakeholders. Through this procedure, stakeholders can interpret, expand upon, and prioritize evidence from synthesis, and inform service improvements and program evaluation that can refine syntheses. The authors describe the philosophical orientations
2022年7月出版的《混合方法研究杂志》(JMMR)包括一篇社论、四篇文章、一篇评论和三篇媒体评论。在社论中,Poth等人(2022)根据JMMR上发表的精选文章,在虚拟特刊(VSI)中收集了关于混合方法设计的讨论。其中包括13篇阅读材料、10篇实证和方法论文章,以及2008年至2022年6月发表的三篇社论。他们从对该系列的分析中得出了三点结论:在混合方法研究设计中,利益相关者有更多参与的趋势,作者需要在论文的所有章节中保持一致并全面使用他们的设计术语,以及真实或详细的报告,以便于读者了解所采用的程序。VSI由主编或副主编编写,目的是从JMMR先前发表的文章中确定文章对所选主题的关键贡献(Fetters&Molina Azorı́n,2020)。先前的VSI及时解决了该领域的讨论主题,如混合方法研究的范式(Molina Azorin&Fetters,2020)、混合方法研究中的整合(Guetterman et al.,2020)和混合方法研究质量(Fàbregues et al.,2021)。此外,Shannon Baker(2022)研究了教育领域的出版物,重点关注设计、集成和视觉展示。VSI社论可在JMMR主页上的收藏链接下开放访问。在本期的第一篇文章中,Dion等人(2022)在健康科学领域引入了证据权重,将其作为一种变革性程序,在相关利益相关者的理解中将证据情境化。通过该程序,利益相关者可以解释、扩展和优先考虑综合证据,并为服务改进和项目评估提供信息,从而完善综合。作者描述了哲学取向
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.
