This groundbreaking edited book, The Routledge Handbook for
Advancing Integration in Mixed Methods Research, presents an array
of different integration ideas, with contributions from scholars
across the globe. This handbook represents the first major volume
that comprehensively discusses this topic of integration. Perhaps
the most fundamental and longstanding question in mixed methods
research is: How does one best integrate disparate forms of
information to produce the best form of inquiry? Each of the 34
seminal chapters in this handbook accelerates the discussion of
integration across a broad range of disciplines, including
education, arts-based analyses, and work in the Global South, as
well as special topics such as psychometrics and media research.
Many of the chapters present new topics that have never been
written about before, and all chapters offer cutting-edge
approaches to integration. They also offer different perspectives
of integration - leading the introductory chapter to offer a new
and comprehensive definition for integration, as follows:
"referring to the optimal mixing, combining, blending,
amalgamating, incorporating, joining, linking, merging,
consolidating, or unifying of research approaches, methodologies,
philosophies, methods, techniques, concepts, language, modes,
disciplines, fields, and/or teams within a single study." The
concluding chapter offers a meta-framework that accounts for this
definition and is designed to help scholars think more about
integration in a way that represents a continuous, dynamic,
iterative, interactive, synergistic, and holistic meaning-making
process. This handbook will be an essential reference work for all
scholars and practitioners using or seeking to use mixed methods in
their research.
