Abstract

This methods paper provides researchers in Nepal with a broad overview of the practical and philosophical aspects of mixed-methods research.

The paper further highlights a number of practical issues, such as (a) the particular mix and order of quantitative and qualitative methods; (b) the way of integrating methods from different philosophical stance; and (c) how to synthesise mixed-methods findings.
