Mixed methods research requires data integration from multiple sources. Existing techniques are restricted to integrating a maximum of two data sources, do not provide step-by-step guidance or can be cumbersome where many data need to be integrated. We have solved these limitations through the development of the extended Pillar Integration Process (ePIP), a method which contributes to the field of mixed methods by being the first data integration method providing explicit steps on how to integrate data from three data sources. The ePIP provides greater transparency, validity and consistency compared to existing methods. We provide two worked examples from health sciences and automotive human factors, highlighting its value as a mixed methods integration tool.

Mixed methods research offers a unique opportunity to advance understanding of a phenomenon. However, practical guidance on the use of mixed methods to develop theoretical frameworks is limited. We present a novel adaptation of the Pillar Integration Process (PIP) to support development and refinement of a theoretical framework explaining the processes by which healthcare factors influence cancer survivors’ quality of life. Deductive integration of quantitative and qualitative data, guided by an a priori conceptual model, illuminates the nuances of the relationship between the concepts of interest, producing a theoretical framework, the Model of Healthcare factors influencing Quality of Life in Cancer Survivorship (MoHaQ-CS).

Meeting the mental health needs of rural populations is challenging internationally, with few methods and scarce data available to inform site-specific planning. We developed a mixed methods approach that integrates Not-for-profit (NFP) organization data in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to explore interrelated understandings of mental health experiences in rural places. Integrating qualitative experience data from online forums with quantitative data from service search and emergency pickup locations via GIS demonstrates how NFP health service data can be ethically sourced, reused, integrated, analyzed, and ground-truthed to explore how mental health is experienced in rural places. This article contributes to the mixed methods literature an ethical approach that utilizes NFP health service datasets to inform research in contexts of data scarcity.

Schneider, and Eva Thomann provide a step-by-step guide on how to implement the latest QCA protocol in R. Published by Cambridge University Press in 2021, the book aims to “facilitate the efficient teaching, use, and independent learning” of QCAwith advanced software (Oana et al., 2021, p. 21). This book is a must-read for beginners as well as experienced scholars. Starting with the basics, it ultimately represents an excellent manual on how to apply the most recent developments in QCA using R software.

This October 2022 issue of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) includes an editorial, a commentary and rebuttal, four articles, and a media review. In the editorial, Fetters (2022) has articulated multiple reasons for adopting naming conventions in the field of mixed methods research. He has focused on mixed methods designs and on naming convention to reflect designs that move beyond core mixed methods designs into combinations with different levels or aspects of research, for example, philosophical, paradigmatic, theoretical, analytical, and methodological. Specifically, Fetters has proposed a taxonomy inspired by the biological sciences that can include levels beyond the methods for a host of designs referred to by such names as advanced designs, intersected designs, scaffolded designs, and embedded designs. He has provided recommendations for authors submitting to JMMR, and next steps for the mixed methods community. Next, this issue includes a commentary by Maxwell (2022) and a rebuttal by Morgan (2022), following an interesting conversation thread in the journal about the use of the term “triangulation” in mixed methods research and distinction from the aspects of integrating quantitative and qualitative methods (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2017, 2019; Hammersley, 2018; Maxwell, 2019; Morgan, 2018, 2019a, 2019b; Sandelowski, 2018). Regarding the four articles published in this October 2022 issue, in the first article, Doran et al. (2022), with affiliations in sociology, nursing, social work, and social statistics, examined the use of narrative methodology with mixed methods research. The authors define narrative mixed methods research as a mixed methods approach that is shaped by stories about the phenomenon under investigation (p. 3). They provided an example from studying the value and impact of social support on the treatment and quality of life of older people with cancer. The authors conducted an

Inductive/deductive hybrid thematic analysis offers significant opportunities for researchers, but its application within integrative mixed methods research has yet to be fully explored. Firstly, this article contributes by demonstrating the compatibility of inductive/deductive hybrid thematic analysis with quantitative work in a mixed methods approach to research. Secondly, the article then innovates by highlighting the value of this approach within a critical realist meta-theoretical perspective. Here, the critical realist concepts of abduction and retroduction are crucial, both in terms of facilitating the convergence of methods and in the generation of new theory. This article will be of relevance to researchers interested in integrating inductive/deductive hybrid thematic analysis with quantitative methods within a coherent and enabling philosophical paradigm.

Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is both a case-oriented research approach and analytic technique that uses set theory to understand causal relationships among conditions and an outcome (Rihoux & Ragin, 2009). Both quantitative and qualitative data can be used in QCA making the method useful for mixed methods research (MMR; de Block & Vis, 2019). QCAwas created by a sociologist, Charles Ragin, in 1987 (Ragin, 1987) and has slowly gained traction in multiple fields to provide a deeper understanding of causal complexity (e.g., Hill et al., 2019). If you are looking for a useful resource for understanding and conducting QCA within the context of MMR, we highly recommend Qualitative Comparative Analysis in Mixed Methods Research and Evaluation by Leila C. Kahwati and Heather L. Kane. This text is the 6th volume in the “Mixed Methods Research Series” providing applied and practical practice for QCA within MMR. Kahwati and Kane bring their practical experience using QCA in MMR to life within the pages of this text. The structure, content, and organization allow researchers to quickly grasp QCA and MMR concepts and apply it to their own research. This review comes from the perspective of a graduate student with interest and training in QCA andMMR and a senior researcher with MMR training and experience publishing studies using QCA.
