Mixed and Multiple Method Research (MMMR) represents a new and emerging approach to integrating diverse research methods. MMR and MMMR is approached from a number of perspectives as members of the community also come from a wide range of disciplines and methodological traditions.

Readings
Can we identify core characteristics of MMR?
Proposed MMR Characteristics
#1 Methodological eclecticism
#2 Paradigm pluralism
#3 Iterative, cyclical approach to research
#4 Set of basic “signature” research designs and analytical processes
#5 Focus on the research question (or research problem) in determining the methods employed within any given study
#6 Emphasis on continua rather than a set of dichotomies
#7 Emphasis on diversity at all levels of the research enterprise
#8 Tendency toward balance and compromise that is implicit within the “third methodological community”
#9 Reliance on visual representations (e.g., figures, diagrams) and a common notational system
