Fetters","doi":"10.1177/15586898211068208","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/15586898211068208","url":null,"abstract":"In the editorial published in the October 2021 issue of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2021), we noted several indicators of how the mixed methods field is growing and maturing. This previous editorial focused especially on guidance for using mixed methods from diverse international organizations. In the present editorial we focus on another indicator of the maturity of the field: the books published about mixed methods and books that include substantive content on this methodological approach. While most journal articles focus on research, books play a key role in academia by informing and guiding research as well as facilitating diffusion of knowledge and training about foundational concepts to design, implement, interpret, and disseminate mixed methods studies. Books help promote capacity building for researchers at all stages in their careers from junior to senior scholars. Regarding the number of books specifically about mixed methods research, a previous assessment can be traced to Onwuegbuzie (2012). He identified 31 books written about mixed methods that had been published through 2012. He identified two handbooks (Tashakkori & Teddlie, 2003, 2010) and 29 authored or edited books, e.g., Andrew and Halcomb (2009), Creswell and Plano Clark (2011), Greene, (2007), Mertens (2004), Tashakkori and Teddlie (1998), Teddlie and Tashakkori (2009). Moreover, some books included mixed methods as a part of the book along with quantitative and qualitative approaches (Creswell, 2008; Johnson & Christensen, 2010). In this editorial, we emphasize the growth in number of books published that examine mixed methods research and portray the diversity of these books relative to the types of books by the authors’ roles, the academic and research emphases, the multidisciplinary versus disciplinaryspecific focus, the characterization of mixed methods as one of multiple methodologies or as a combined methodology, and the focus on a specific aspect of mixed methods research. Our intent is not to identify exhaustively all the books published that have a focus, or a substantive part of the content focused on mixed methods research. Providing a comprehensive list of all the books featuring mixed methods, especially given the very large number of books that may include content about mixed methods, represents a formidable task that extends beyond the","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49527742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Until the identification of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, it seemed some semblance of order in the world had begun emerging. The COVID-19 virus continues to mutate and wreak terror across the globe. The world continues to be socially distanced and politically divided along many lines. But within this context, mixed methods researchers continue to innovate procedures for conducting mixed methods research in the quest to address social challenges. This issue of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) features multiple breakthroughs for mixed methods research methodology. This issue includes an editorial, three methodological/theoretical articles, four empirical mixed methods methodological articles, and an erratum. In the accompanying editorial, we (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2022) provide an estimate of the number of books published that focus on mixed methods research. We note dramatic growth in the sheer number of books in the past three decades as well as the diversity of the books featuring mixed methods research.We identified more than 300 book titles and more than 80% of these were published since 2010. This milestone extends discussion in our last editorial signifying evidence for maturation of the field of mixed methods research in which we examined guidance for using mixed methods research by major public and private organizations globally (Fetters & MolinaAzorin, 2021a). Regarding this issues’ original contributions, two articles, both from New Zealand (Martel et al., 2022; Goodyear-Smith & Ofanoa, 2022) represent groundbreaking contributions to the challenge posed in our previous editorial calling for authors to share worldviews and indigenous philosophies supportive of mixed methods research (Fetters &Molina-Azorin, 2019).

The integration of qualitative and quantitative methods in social sciences most often follows the Peircean pragmatic approach—abductive hypothesis formation followed by deductive and inductive testing/confirmation—with limited theorizing properties. This paper contributes to the field of mixed methods research in social sciences by explicating a two-way interaction process between mixed methods data and [social] theory in a pluralistic inferencing approach espoused by critical realism—retroductive theorizing. The paper further illustrates how through retroductive theorizing, critical realism offers a more epistemologically and ontologically grounded alternative for integrating qualitative and quantitative methods compared to pragmatism.","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47446374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lead author of that study participated both in the 2019 American Educational Research Association (AERA) ex-tended professional development workshop where I offered this framework and in the applied seminar on statistical and social network analysis where I developed this framework and began offering it in 2013. In addition to offering this seminar annually for 8 years now and the AERA workshops annually since 2019, I also offered workshops at the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2016 and 2017. At least 750 people have participated in these seminars and workshops; additionally, the published manuscript containing this integrative framework (Gonz´alez Canch´e, 2019) has been downloaded over 1300 times. Importantly, the apparent reach of this integrative framework, the positive feedback offered by seminar and workshop participants throughout the years, and the cost-free programming code software used to implement this mixed method research framework (The R Project), the vast majority of workshop attendees have been unable to apply “ Network Analysis of Qualitative Data ” (NAQD) in their own research. These procedures are statistically and computer programming code heavy and require advanced data management and matrix manipulation skills, both of which represent truly dif fi cult barriers for NAQD ’ s mainstream application to qualitative and mixed methods research. Indeed, though all statistical code has been consistently provided to students and workshop attendees throughout the years, only a handful of participants have been able to surpass these remarkable hurdles.

Joint displays in the published literature are intended to be polished research products that illustrate the connections between quantitative and qualitative inferences. However, we contend using joint displays formatively during analysis can yield more comprehensive metainferences. Accordingly, we introduce a process called joint display coding to formalize the process toward these metainferences. Our approach draws upon the “text-in-context” coding approach and intersects it with a crossover analysis. We showcase an example of joint display coding using a descriptive study of U.S. institutional webpages in higher education.
