Muhtasari	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 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.
