Abstract

In this editorial, we introduce the latest issue (Volume 16, Issue 3) of the International Journal of Multiple Research Approaches, which showcases two articles and two editorials that extend methodological innovation in mixed methods research. The first article, authored by Elizabeth Creamer, examines strategies for interrogating dissonance that may emerge between quantitative results and qualitative interpretations in mixed methods research designs. The second article, by Lauren Decker-Woodrow, explores the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in generating joint displays, offering both benefits and cautions for researchers adopting emerging technological tools. The second editorial, by Gullen et al., details the development of a Researcher-Practitioner Partnership focused on supporting students with disabilities through mixed methods inquiry. A metatheme uniting these contributions is adaptive methodological integration—reflecting how researchers can navigate dissonance, leverage AI, and cultivate collaborative partnerships to enhance rigor, inclusivity, and innovation within mixed methods research.
