Rezumat	The concurrent mixed methods matrix is a mixed methods design in which quantitative and qualitative data strands are collected simultaneously and organized within a structured matrix framework. The matrix maps design dimensions — such as research questions, data sources, priority, and integration points — across rows and columns, making the logical architecture of the study explicit and auditable. Both strands are analyzed independently before being merged through a matrix-guided integration step.	The concurrent triangulation mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously, analyzes each strand independently, and then merges the results to assess whether the two data sources corroborate one another. Often called the convergent parallel design, it is one of the foundational configurations in mixed methods research and is chosen specifically when the researcher wants to cross-validate or triangulate findings from two distinct methodological traditions.
