The Sage Handbook of Mixed Methods Research Design

Edited by:


September 2023 | 600 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
With contributions from over 80 of the biggest names and rising stars of the field, this Handbook is an essential resource for anyone interested in the contemporary, emerging, and evolving practice of mixed methods research and scholarship. Exploring new and novel applications of existing mixed methods research design practices, the handbook provides comprehensive integration guidance while showcasing how design innovations inspire and contribute to investigating previously under-researched social issues and populations. Through its unique focus on design and the diverse contexts in which mixed methods research is being applied, this Handbook prepares researchers for the changing conditions in which they will conduct studies. Newcomers and seasoned mixed methods researchers alike will find this Handbook a go-to source for tools to think and act ‘complexively’ and creatively in research design. Using accessible language and illustrative examples, this Handbook is written for those with various roles and experience in mixed methods research design. The in-depth discussions led by the interdisciplinary group of 11 internationally renowned editorial section leads project our collective thinking of mixed methods research design into the future across the following six sections:

Section 1: Inspiring Diversity and Innovation in Mixed Methods Design
Section 2: The Craft of Mixed Methods Research Design 
Section 3: Expanding Mixed Methods Design Approaches

The SAGE Handbook of Mixed Methods Design edited by Dr. Cheryl Poth offers an exciting and innovative collection of information on mixed methods research from some of the leading experts in the field. The book and its topic areas are timely and highly relevant addressing key areas such as diversity, navigating research cultures, designing innovative integrations with technology, and exploring design possibilities. I look forward to sharing this innovative resource with students, colleagues, and others who are tackling some of the most complex research questions using mixed methods designs. Importantly, the handbook facilitates understanding by bridging theory with practical examples and will serve as a “go-to” guide for mixed methods scholars and practitioners alike!

SAGE Knowledge is the premier social sciences platform for SAGE and CQ Press book, reference and video content.

The platform allows researchers to cross-search and seamlessly access a wide breadth of must-have SAGE book and reference content from one source.

SAGE Research Methods is a research methods tool created to help researchers, faculty and students with their research projects. SAGE Research Methods links over 175,000 pages of SAGE’s renowned book, journal and reference content with truly advanced search and discovery tools. Researchers can explore methods concepts to help them design research projects, understand particular methods or identify a new method, conduct their research, and write up their findings. Since SAGE Research Methods focuses on methodology rather than disciplines, it can be used across the social sciences, health sciences, and more.

With SAGE Research Methods, researchers can explore their chosen method across the depth and breadth of content, expanding or refining their search as needed; read online, print, or email full-text content; utilize suggested related methods and links to related authors from SAGE Research Methods' robust library and unique features; and even share their own collections of content through Methods Lists. SAGE Research Methods contains content from over 720 books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and handbooks, the entire “Little Green Book,” and "Little Blue Book” series, two Major Works collating a selection of journal articles, and specially commissioned videos.
