摘要

随着密歇根大学的Mike Fetters于2023年7月16日去世,混合方法研究不幸地失去了该领域的一位巨人和JMMR的联合主编。迈克在与胰腺癌长达一年的斗争中失败了,死在了他位于密歇根州“湖畔”的家中。我们发现很难充分概括迈克的学术和混合方法的生活。他是一位富有同情心的家庭医生,学术奖学金的创新者,一位国际知名的日本学者,一位有天赋的语言学家,最重要的是,他是一位伟大的人和朋友。这些成就中的任何一项都足以成就杰出的人生事业。从2015年开始,迈克成为JMMR的联合主编,一直担任到2022年他生病为止。他撰写了具有创新性和挑衅性的社论,例如提出1 + 1= 3的方程,以突出来自定量和定性研究相结合的额外见解(或影响,见Fetters, 2020) (Fetters, 2018;Fetters & Freshwater, 2015)。他创建了一个研究设计分类,指定了新的术语,如“脚手架”(Fetters, 2022),建议从我们的研究中删除种族化的词(Fetters等人,2021),为高质量的混合方法出版物提供了一个清单(Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2019b),并建议混合方法研究的“阴阳”东方哲学(Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2019a)。迈克与约瑟夫·莫利纳-阿索林的社论谈到了推进这一领域。在迈克担任联合主编期间,翻阅该杂志的出版物,可以看到新兴学者、国际作者的前沿著作,以及数据和想法的创造性结合,例如使用泰坦尼克数据集教授混合方法数据分析(Lindemann & Stolz, 2020),或者引用无马马车来帮助理解混合方法研究的发展(Fetters, 2016)。该杂志增加了新的部分,如评论(见Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2016),虚拟特刊,专题问题(例如,COVID混合方法研究,Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2020),以及主要学者之间的辩论(Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2019)。该期刊的学术影响因子越来越高,使其成为一种高度选择性的出版物。迈克指导了许多教师和研究生,总是鼓励他们提交给JMMR。他不仅指出了需要修改的手稿问题,而且还就如何解决这些问题以获得高质量的出版物提供了建议。他证明了自己是一位学者,这一成就记录在他长达72页的简历中,其中包括300多篇出版物和数十项资助。在获得流行病学(定量)硕士学位和生物伦理学(定性)硕士学位后,迈克自然而然地将混合方法添加到他的医疗技能中。

Tribute to Michael D. Fetters
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).

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.
