Σύνοψη	Quantitative-dominant mixed methods meta-inference is an integration procedure in which the researcher draws an overarching conclusion by combining inferences from both quantitative and qualitative strands, while explicitly assigning greater evidential weight to the quantitative results. The qualitative strand serves a supporting, elaborating, or contextualizing role rather than an equal voice in the final interpretation.	The mixed methods matrix is a systematic framework for classifying, planning, and comparing mixed methods research designs along key dimensions such as timing (concurrent vs. sequential), priority (quantitative- vs. qualitative-dominant), and point of integration. It provides researchers with a structured map to make design decisions explicit, communicate choices transparently, and locate a study within the broader mixed methods typology.
