Résumé	Concurrent mixed methods meta-inference is a research design in which quantitative and qualitative data strands are collected simultaneously and then subjected to a formal meta-inferential process — drawing a unified, overarching conclusion that transcends what either strand alone could produce. The concurrent timing means neither strand informs the collection of the other; instead, both strands converge at the analysis-integration stage where meta-inferences are constructed.	The exploratory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research framework in which a qualitative phase is conducted first to explore a poorly understood phenomenon, and the findings then inform a subsequent quantitative phase — typically to develop and test a survey instrument, measure a theory, or generalize qualitative insights to a larger population. The qualitative strand guides what is measured; the quantitative strand tests or extends those findings at scale.
