Article types published include:Original mixed methods research that fits the definition of mixed methods research; explicitly integrates quantitative and qualitative dimensions of the study; makes a novel methodological contribution to mixed methods research; and adds to a substantive area in the scholar’s field of inquiryMethodological/theoretical topics that advance knowledge about mixed methods research and integration, such as mixed methods research/evaluation questions, types of designs, sampling and/or measurement procedures, approaches to data analysis, drawing metainferences, theory, validity/research integrity, software applications, paradigm stances, writing approaches, and value and use of mixed methods researchPrevalence studies that are a type of methodological manuscript which systematically examine the adoption and use of mixed methods researchResearch Notes that are brief articles with a focus on a specific or narrowly framed concept, methodological innovation or applicationCommentaries that provide an alternative interpretation, application, or expansion of ideas raised previously in a JMMR original article and will entail a response from the index author(s)Media Reviews that critically evaluate the content, quality, and value of textbooks, software, or other media, such as websites, companion material, and video seriesSpecial Issues that are a group of articles focused on a specific topic about mixed methods research and are led and managed by one or more guest editors Virtual Special Issues that have assembled previously published JMMR articles and editorials are listed online together about a particular theme of relevance to mixed methods research such as the inaugural virtual special issue on paradigms.The Journal of Mixed Methods Research’s scope includesExploring terminology and nomenclature used in mixed methods researchProviding a forum for discussion of parameters effecting mixed methods researchCreating and interpreting paradigmatic and philosophical foundations for mixed methods researchIlluminating theory, design, procedural, and analysis issuesDetermining the logistics of conducting mixed methods researchInvestigating approaches for integration in multiple dimensions of mixed methods research EDITORIAL BOARDThe editorial board consists of distinguished international researchers in the social, behavioral, health, and human sciences with expertise in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research. Editorial board members’ names and affiliations are found under the Editorial Board link.The JMMR is a premiere outlet for ground-breaking and seminal work in the field of mixed methods research, as well as a primary forum for the growing community of international and multidisciplinary scholars of mixed methods research.
