Design-based Mixed Methods Matrix/Evidence

Design-based Mixed Methods Matrix

The design-based mixed methods matrix is a systematic framework for selecting and structuring mixed methods research designs. It organises key design decisions — purpose, timing of data strands, point of integration, and weighting of quantitative versus qualitative components — into a coherent matrix that guides researchers toward a defensible, transparent design. The framework draws on the typology traditions of Creswell and Plano Clark and Greene's purposes-based approach.
