Sažetak	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.	Mixed methods meta-inference is the overarching conclusion drawn at the end of a mixed methods study by systematically combining and integrating the separate inferences produced by the quantitative and qualitative strands. It represents the highest-level interpretive act in mixed methods research: moving beyond strand-specific findings to produce a unified, coherent understanding of the research problem that neither strand could yield alone.
