We are very proud at Researchware that, back in October, Researchware cofounder Dr. Sharlene Hesse-Biber was awarded Sage Press "Most Downloaded Article" award for an article she wrote on approaching mixed methods research. You can see our post about the award, with links to Sharlene's mixed method article, here. We recently came across an review and opinion piece on Sharlene's "Most Downloaded Article" that provides an excellent summary of the point Sharlene makes about mixed methods research, namely that each methodology informs the researcher about the reality of the other. Check out this summary at http://researchdesignreview.com/2011/11/15/multiple-research-methods-the-complex-mosaic-of-human-reality/.
