“…As she writes, "while fiscal regulations and subsidies, technical efficiency and political deliberations all affect the deployment of renewables, the stark fact remains that all of this matters little if there is no public support for a development" (Haggett 2009: 299). Walker and Baxter (2017) conclude that opposition to the development of local wind farms in…”

As more researchers have considered the use of mixed methods, writings have moved away from debates about epistemological incompatibilities and now focus on the (potential) value of increased understanding that comes from combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. Yet, as the level of integration can vary substantially, some designs are said to allow one method or the other to dominate. Although there may be sound reasoning for intentionally allowing one method to dominate, here we investigate one literature as a moment to reflect why, and on the degree to which mixed methods sequence is so bound up with methodological dominance, that calling such studies "mixed" may seem misleading. Like the history of social science more generally, it is quantitative research that is typically given more weight in these studies and academics have noted a few reasons why this may be the case. Few have investigated how research design-and more specifically method sequence-may impact method dominance. Using an emerging mixed methods literature surrounding the social acceptance of wind energy (N ¼ 34), we study the relationship between the timing of each method (i.e., sequence) and method dominance to see whether qualitative methods in particular are marginalized. Through our Dominance in Mixed Methods Assessment model, we provide evidence that indeed qualitative methods are marginalized and this may be associated with method sequence and other design elements. Moreover, some authors focus solely on one method, giving pause to caution both writers and readers about the use of the term "mixed methods." The analytical approach is detailed enough to be replicated and detect whether these patterns are repeated in other research domains. Through an examination of how mixed methods are typically understood, Creswell and Plano Clark (2018) write about approaches to classifying mixed methods research design (see also the "five major questions" from Bryman, 2006). They suggest there are four major features that help us understand

“…Of the articles that consider governance issues, many do so from a national or regional perspective. Examples include studies on the justice impacts of European policies that encourage companies to share ownership of renewable energy projects (Goedkoop & Devine-Wright, 2016), energy and public transportation access in Gambia (Schiffer, 2016), and the participatory siting processes of wind projects in Canadian provinces (Walker & Baxter, 2017).…”

This review article documents and analyzes trends within the environmental policy literature published between 2014 and 2017. We find that environmental policy scholarship has recently shifted its focus from more traditional topics, such as watershed and ecosystem management, to other modern issues, such as climate change and energy. The environmental policy literature has increased in complexity and become more interdisciplinary in nature, which we illustrate with a discussion of the energy justice literature. The methodological approaches used by environmental policy scholars have also become increasingly diverse, with a notable uptick in statistical and modeling approaches. We find that some topics, such as policy failure, gender issues, and energy welfare policies are under‐explored, and certain regions within the world, such as developing countries, are less frequently studied. We encourage scholars to consider these gaps in the literature when developing future research.
