by John W. Creswell

John W. Creswell’s A Concise Introduction to Mixed Methods Research is a brief overview of mixed methods research that takes readers through the essential steps in planning and designing a study. Rather than offering an extensive treatment of mixed methods, this concise book offers individuals in the social, behavioral, and health sciences a foundation for understanding mixed methods methodology. Practical for use in workshops, seminars, global webinars, and as a supplementary text in undergraduate and graduate classes, Creswell’s book is ideal for the beginner or the more advanced researcher looking for a quick primer in mixed methods, by an authoritative mixed methods scholar.

Straightforward and useful. A bit repetitive at times.

[Sulpicia Cresswell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great introduction to mixed methods research for this who are unfamiliar. Cresswell goes through every step of the process from design to publication (briefly). This book is well suited for those who are new to mixed methods or to a graduate proseminar on empirical research that discusses multiple methods.

[Phil James · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great book for anyone trying to learn about mixed methods research, and is written by one of the main gurus. Easy to read, short chapters break down the key components of the method and an overview of how it is done but also practical issues such as writing a mixed methods article for publication are touched on.

lol I mean it’s a methods book. But it was concise and helpful! A fair bit of repetition though (even though it’s a tiny lil book). Will be good for my research!
