Handbook of Research on Mixed Methods Research in Information Science

Mixed methods research is becoming prevalent in many fields, yet little has been done to elevate mixed methods research in information science. A comprehensive picture of information science and its problems is needed to further understand and address the issues associated with it as well as how mixed methods research can be adapted and used. The Handbook of Research on Mixed Methods Research in Information Science discusses the quality of mixed methods studies and methodological transparency, sampling in mixed methods research, and the application of theory in mixed methods research throughout various contexts. Covering topics such as the issues and potential directions for further research in mixed methods, this comprehensive major reference work is ideal for researchers, policymakers, academicians, librarians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Summary

Mixed methods research provides researchers with an opportunity to understand problems from multiple perspectives and for this reason it is becoming prevalent in many fields. This book is dedicated to this emerging methodology and promotes it's potential for providing a comprehensive picture of information science problems.
