“…Mixed methods (MM) research has gained wide global and disciplinary acceptance for generating insights not accessible by qualitative or quantitative research alone (e.g., Bergman, 2011; Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018; Johnson & Onwuegbuzie, 2004; Plano Clark, 2010; Poth, 2018; Poth et al, 2022; Shannon-Baker, 2022). Qualitatively oriented mixed methods (QOMM) designs have long been known to offer great potential for researchers seeking to prioritize qualitative perspectives (Cameron, 2016; Morse & Cheek, 2014; Hesse-Biber, 2010; Onwuegbuzie & Poth, 2015).…”

Mixed methods (MM) research has gained wide global and disciplinary acceptance. However, MM designs that prioritize qualitative perspectives are not easily recognizable yet offer great potential for researchers. By situating the current state of qualitatively oriented mixed methods (QOMM) research and offering practical guidance, we aim to help researchers leverage design possibilities. We begin by positioning ourselves and describing some distinguishing characteristics to help researchers recognize QOMM designs. We then introduce the key features of a QOMM study and weave illustrative examples into the descriptions of six interconnected design spokes to help researchers navigate a nonlinear design process. Finally, we discuss three useful lessons we learned from our own research experiences and consider their implications to help researchers design future QOMM studies.

“…The JMMR encourages future special issues that focus on relevant theoretical and methodological topics and advancements in the field of mixed methods research, adding value and contributing to the mixed methods literature (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2018). In addition, JMMR has also published virtual special issues as online-only collections of previously published JMMR articles with contributions relative to a chosen theme (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2020): paradigms (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2020), integration (Guetterman et al, 2020), quality (Fàbregues et al, 2021), mixed methods research in education (Shannon-Baker, 2022), designs (Poth et al, 2022), and collaborative practices in mixed methods research (Archibald, 2023).…”

Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) has published several special issues on triangulation (Mertens & Hesse-Biber, 2012), marginalized populations (Sorde-Marti & Mertens, 2014), migration (Bergman, 2018), and the COVID-19 pandemic (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2021b). The JMMR encourages future special issues that focus on relevant theoretical and methodological topics and advancements in the field of mixed methods research, adding value and contributing to the mixed methods literature (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2018). In addition, JMMR has also published virtual special issues as online-only collections of previously published JMMR articles with contributions relative to a chosen theme (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2020): paradigms (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2020), integration (Guetterman et al., 2020), quality (Fàbregues et al., 2021, mixed methods research in education (Shannon-Baker, 2022), designs , and collaborative practices in mixed methods research (Archibald, 2023).Perhaps a marker of the development of mixed methods from an emerging to an established field is the publication of special issues in broader methodological journals and discipline-specific journals. A profession is defined by features such as a technical basis, a clear scope, training standards, and recognition that its services are "uniquely trustworthy" (Wilensky, 1964, p. 138). Special issues about mixed methods provide evidence that this field is recognized by other fields (i.e., our public as scholars) as unique and valid.In this editorial, we examine special issues on mixed methods research published in other journals. Special issues include a collection of manuscripts, and they usually are based on previous call for papers. Special issues usually are led and managed by one or more guest editors. As noted above, the publication in other journals of special issues focused on mixed methods may be considered as an indicator of how the mixed methods field is growing and maturing. Two previous editorials in JMMR examined two indicators of this maturity: the extent that international organizations embrace and provide guidance for conducting mixed methods studies (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2021a) and the books published about mixed methods research (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2022). In our view, the publication of special issues on mixed methods in a variety of journals also signifies the development, recognition, and professionalization of the mixed methods field.

“…These collections are prepared by chief or associate editors, identifying important contributions relative to a chosen theme (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2020). The first virtual special issues focused on paradigms (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2020), integration (Guetterman et al, 2020), quality (Fàbregues et al, 2021), mixed methods research in education (Shannon-Baker, 2022), and designs (Poth et al, 2022). In this sixth virtual special issue, Archibald (2023), with affiliation in nursing, has selected 18 articles about the use of collaborative practices in mixed methods research.…”

This April 2023 issue of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) includes an editorial for a new virtual special issue, one research note, four articles, and a special thanks to reviewers during the 2022 publication year.In the editorial, Archibald (2023) introduces the sixth virtual special issue of JMMR, focused on collaboration in mixed methods research. Virtual special issues are online-only collections of previously published JMMR articles. These collections are prepared by chief or associate editors, identifying important contributions relative to a chosen theme . The first virtual special issues focused on paradigms (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2020), integration (Guetterman et al., 2020), quality (Fàbregues et al., 2021), mixed methods research in education (Shannon-Baker, 2022), and designs (Poth et al., 2022). In this sixth virtual special issue, Archibald (2023), with affiliation in nursing, has selected 18 articles about the use of collaborative practices in mixed methods research. These articles are grouped in four topics: (1) discrete participatory methods, (2) within and between collaborative team dynamics, (3) indigenous communities and marginalized groups, and (4) community-based participatory research. Benefits and challenges of collaborative mixed methods research are emphasized, indicating opportunities for future collaborative approaches in mixed methods research. JMMR virtual special issues can be seen on the home webpage, in the collections section.Regarding the manuscripts published in this April 2023 issue, in a research note, Morgan (2023), with affiliation in sociology, conducted a comparison between articles published in JMMR, representing the core of the field, and a broad and random sample of articles from outside
