Authors have to adhere strictly to the style of APA 7th manual. The manual provides examples for different types of citations in the text as well as for different bibliographic items in the reference list.
Submission types:
There are two submission types as follows:
- Original mixed methods research manuscripts that:
- contain 7000 to 8000 words including references;
- identify and support with a substantive literature review a unique contribution to MM research in the area of the researcher's field of inquiry;
- fit the definition of MM research by collecting and analyzing data, integrating the findings, and drawing inferences using both qualitative and quantitative approaches or methods;
- provide a design figure of the MM procedures;
- explicitly integrate the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the study;
- delineate how the study makes a contribution to a substantive area in the scholar’s field of inquiry; and
- discuss explicitly how the research makes a novel contribution to the literature of MM research.
Original research manuscripts that do not articulate a specific methodological purpose, or fail to show integration and discuss a novel contribution to the MM research will be rejected.
- Methodological / theoretical research manuscripts (3000 to 4000 words including references) that advance knowledge about MM research, such as:
- Types of research/evaluation questions
- Types of designs
- Sampling and/or measurement procedures
- Approaches to data analysis and drawing meta-inferences
- Validity and research integrity
- Software applications
- Paradigm stance
- Writing approaches
- The value and use of MM research
- Theoretical lenses
- Ethical issues
- Quality in MM research
Methodological/theoretical manuscripts that do not articulate a specific methodological purpose, or fail to review relevant literature and discuss a novel contribution to the mixed methods literature will be returned to the author(s).
