MMR-History & Controversies
A well defined but variegated mixed methods community emerged in the 1990s at the end of the paradigm wars. From from being a vehicle of peace, many of the controversies now reflect unresolved issues of the paradigm wars.
Read more about the paradigm wars in Gage, N. L. (1989). The paradigm wars and their aftermath a “historical” sketch of research on teaching since 1989. Educational Researcher, 18(7), 4-10.
Historically in the field of Administrative Science, Jick (1979) explored the utility of combining methods. He argued that "there is a distinct tradition in the liteature on social science research methods that advocates the use of multiple methods. This form of research strategy is usally described as one of convergent methodology, multimethodmultitrait . . . These various notions share the conception that qualitative and quantitative methods should be viewed as complementary rather than as rival camps.

In sociology, Sieber (1973) wrote an article on the integration of fieldwork and survey methods in 1973.

Maxwell (2016) presented a powerful argument. He proposed that “the deliberate and systematic use of both qualitative and quantitative approaches and methods, and the integration of these, was present long before anyone had labelled this as a particular type of research, and even before the terms qualitative and quantitative were established, and continues to be more widely used in forms largely unacknowledged in the mixed methods literature” (p. 13)

Creswell, an early leader in the modern movement discusses eleven key controversies in MMR that are still relevant to this point.
