Crotty ’ s widely used four elements of the research process provide a way of thinking about research. The elements are epistemology, theoretical perspective, methodology, and methods (Crotty, 1998). Authors have extended this framework to another aspect: rhetoric (Creswell, 2013; Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2017a). Fetters and Molina-Azorin (2017a) advanced the rhetorical dimension of integration, de fi ning it as “ Creating or adapting terminology intentionally and thoughtfully to re fl ect the mixed methods paradigm, writing with an integrated structure to illustrate the mixed methods dimension, structuring the fi ndings narrative using contiguous or weaving presentations, using metaphors to write about integration, composing integrated prose to effectively illustrate the added value of mixed methods fi ndings ” (p. 295). However, the concept of rhetoric or the language used to write about and report research is often overlooked and underappreciated and too often stands in the way of researchers ’ ability to craft persuasive manuscripts about their mixed methods research practices. Scholars have paid attention to the terminology and nomenclature associated with mixed methods research since the early days of developing the fi eld dedicated to this approach.

Integrated results revealed that for respondents the most significant factors influencing their healthy aging were, life engagement purpose, substance misuse, and masculinity norms.

In a recent editorial, coeditors-in-chief José Molina-Azorin and Timothy Guetterman (2023) identified several existing special issues that discuss specific methodological features and innovations in mixed methods research or share applications of mixed methods within specific disciplines. However, none of the special issues outlined in their editorial focused on using a specific theoretical framework with a mixed methods approach. Instead, there are various articles, chapters, and books about applying theories to mixed methods such as Critical Race Theory (DeCuir-Gunby & Schutz, 2018; DeCuirGunby & Walker-DeVose, 2013), postcolonial Indigenous paradigms (Chilisa & Tsheko, 2014), Chicana feminist theory (Garcia & Ramirez, 2021) and feminist theory in general (Hesse-Biber, 2012), and complexity theory (Poth, 2018), among others. Mixed methods scholars have indicated that as a field we need to investigate the affordances, challenges, and methodological innovations that using theoretical perspectives might promote (Hesse-Biber & Johnson, 2013; Mertens, 2010). Rigorous mixed methods research includes a description of the theoretical grounding in framing the research problem, questions, and context as well as the research design, procedures, and practices (Levitt et al., 2018). Therefore, there is a need for researchers to contextualize their mixed methods processes (Plano Clark & Ivankova, 2016) within specific theoretical frameworks and more examples of such applications. The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect innovative theorizations and applications of queer mixed methods research.Queer mixed methods research refers to “a queering of the methods used in mixed methods research and a queering of the methodology itself” (Shannon-Baker, 2021, p. 590). To queer methods refers to using queer theories to influence specific research practices or procedures, whereas to queer methodologies refers to using queer theories to interrogate research","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"343 - 349"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47947382","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}

Johnson","doi":"10.1177/15586898231201239","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/15586898231201239","url":null,"abstract":"Mixed methods research sadly lost a giant in the field and the co-editor in chief of JMMR with the passing of Mike Fetters of the University of Michigan on July 16th, 2023. Mike lost his year-long fight against pancreatic cancer and died at his Michigan “lakeside” home. We find it difficult to adequately summarize Mike’s scholarly and mixed methods life. He was a compassionate family medicine doctor, an innovator in academic scholarship, an international and distinguished Japanese scholar, a gifted linguist, and, above all else, a great human being and friend. Any one of these accomplishments would be sufficient for a distinguished life’s career. Mike became the co-editor in chief of JMMR beginning in 2015 and continued until his illness in 2022. He authored innovative and provocative editorials, such as presenting the equation of 1 + 1= 3 to highlight the added insight (or metainferences, see Fetters, 2020) that comes from combining quantitative and qualitative research (Fetters, 2018; Fetters & Freshwater, 2015). He created a taxonomy of research designs specifying new terminology such as “scaffolding” (Fetters, 2022), recommended the removal of racialized words from our research (Fetters, et al., 2021), advanced a checklist for a quality mixed methods publication (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2019b), and suggested a “yin-yang” Eastern philosophy for mixed methods research (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2019a). Mike’s editorials with José Molina-Azorin spoke to advancing the field. Looking through the journal’s publications during Mike’s tenure as co-editor in chief shows cutting edge writings by new, emerging scholars, international authors, and the creative combination of data and ideas, such as using the Titanic datasets to teach mixed methods data analysis (Lindemann & Stolz, 2020), or citing the horseless carriage to help understand the development of mixed methods research (Fetters, 2016). The journal grew with the addition of new sections, such as commentaries (see Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2016), virtual special issues, special topic issues (e.g., COVID mixed methods studies, Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2020), and debates between leading scholars (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2019c). The scholarly impact factor for the journal kept inching higher and higher making it a highly selective publication. Mike mentored many faculty and graduate students, always encouraging their submissions to JMMR. He not only indicated manuscript problems requiring revision but also provided advice on how to address the problems to result in a quality publication. He demonstrated being a scholar, an achievement documented in his voluminous 72-page resume consisting of over 300 publications and scores of grants. Mike added mixed methods to his medical skill set naturally after a masters in epidemiology (quantitative) and a second in bioethics (qualitative).","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"340 - 342"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44939735","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}
