Various researchers and research scholars find it difficult to choose a suitable approach that meets the requirements for being used in Mixed Methods Research (MMR). They are interested in acquiring knowledge and its applicability to their respective research studies.
A comprehensive list of research publications on mixed methods research is provided below. I have categorised the research papers under various key titles. These research papers include fundamental ideas for novice researchers on core concepts like ten points about mixed methods research, RQs, and implications to advanced topics like theorization and triangulation.
This may not be a full list of research papers related to mixed methods research, however, this list will be useful for researchers and research scholars.
Note: If you have references to more research papers related to mixed methods research, please share them with me for inclusion in this list.
