Research paradigms provide a way of thinking about research, or philosophical perspectives of research. 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.

Little is known about how New Zealand men understand their health and wellbeing as they age and what are the determinants of their healthy ageing. Contiguous and exploratory sequential mixed methods study were conducted with the collection of both focus group and survey data. Methodologically, this abductive process was incorporated within an intersectional framework, providing a comprehensive picture of healthy aging in men across life stages and socioeconomic statuses. Integrated results revealed that for respondents the most significant factors influencing their healthy aging were, life engagement purpose, substance misuse, and masculinity norms. This article contributes to mixed methods research by providing practical applications of incorporating the intersectional model to enhance rigor in designing, conducting, and interpreting mixed methods research.

While mixed methods research can enhance studies of intervention outcomes and projects where research itself transforms communities through participatory approaches, methodologists need explicit examples. As the field of interpersonal violence prevention increasingly embraces community-level prevention strategies, it may benefit from research methods that mirror community-building prevention processes. A multiphase mixed methods study with sequential and convergent components assessed the feasibility, and impact of a prevention program to change social norms and increase collective efficacy in towns. Joint display analysis created a nuanced picture of the acceptability, feasibility, and impact of the program. This article contributes to the field of mixed methods research by bridging discussions of "interventionist" studies with models of community-based participatory mixed methods research into a combined community-engaged method.

Instrument fidelity in message testing research hinges upon how precisely messages operationalize treatment conditions. However, numerous message-testing studies have unmitigated threats to validity and reliability because no established procedures exist to guide construction of message treatments. Their construction typically occurs in a black box, resulting in suspect inferential conclusions about treatment effects. Because a mixed methods approach is needed to enhance instrument fidelity in message testing research, this article contributes to the field of mixed methods research by presenting an integrated multistage procedure for constructing precise message treatments using an exploratory sequential mixed methods design. This work harnesses the power of integration through crossover analysis to improve instrument fidelity in message testing research through the use of natural language processing.

Special issues about mixed methods research demonstrate its “development, recognition, and professionalization” (Molina-Azorin & Guetterman, 2023, p. 234). 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).

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).

The Pillar Integration Process was developed to facilitate integration of mixed method data, but there is limited historical application of this approach in complex intervention evaluation. To test the applicability of the technique, this paper presents two case studies examining the efficacy of a workplace intervention. The research included a pilot RCT and process evaluation. The case studies illustrate the benefits of applying the Pillar Integration Process to elicit a comprehensive understanding of intervention efficacy and to design better interventions. This paper contributes to the mixed methods research by advancing the technique through considering inherent philosophical assumptions, and evidencing the value of integrating methods within, as well as across, “qualitative” and “quantitative” categories.
