Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches (2019-2024)

This curated corpus provides a thorough examination of research design methodologies, with a specific focus on the integration of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Spanning from 2019 to 2024, the collection highlights significant contributions from diverse fields, including management, public health, nursing, social sciences, and beyond. These articles address complex research questions through interdisciplinary methodologies, offering insights into the practical and theoretical challenges of combining qualitative and quantitative methods to yield comprehensive and actionable results.

The selected works explore key issues such as advanced data collection techniques, the integration of mixed-methods research in varying cultural and disciplinary contexts, and the methodological challenges faced by researchers in interdisciplinary fields. The corpus illustrates the growing importance of blending qualitative insights with quantitative analysis to achieve a holistic understanding of complex phenomena. It serves as an essential resource for researchers, practitioners, and students aiming to refine their approaches to mixed-methods research in both academic and practical applications.

Key topics explored in this corpus include:

• Challenges of Mixed-Methods Research: Examination of the difficulties faced in integrating qualitative and quantitative methodologies across different cultural and disciplinary contexts, with specific case studies such as Saudi Arabia and interdisciplinary management research.
• Methodological Innovations in Data Collection: Insights into innovative data collection methods that combine qualitative and quantitative approaches to address complex societal issues, such as aging populations, cultural participation, and minority rights.
• Applications in Health and Public Policy: Exploration of how mixed-methods research is applied in fields like public health and nursing, offering nuanced approaches to research design, particularly in interdisciplinary fields such as One Health and biomedical research.
• Cross-Disciplinary and Cultural Insights: Analysis of how research methodologies can be adapted to different cultural contexts, such as studies conducted in Latin America, African indigenous populations, and global interdisciplinary research teams.
• Advancements in Quantitative and Qualitative Integration: A focus on how philosophical perspectives, such as critical realism and phenomenology, inform the blending of qualitative and quantitative methods, thereby shaping research frameworks in fields ranging from sports psychology to the chemical sciences.
• Ethical Considerations in Mixed-Methods Research: Discussion on the ethical challenges in data governance and participant engagement when employing mixed-methods research, particularly in sensitive and cross-cultural settings.
