About the journal
The Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) is an innovative, quarterly, international publication that focuses on empirical, methodological, and theoretical articles about mixed methods research across the social, behavioral, health, and human sciences. Supported by the premier researchers and practitioners in mixed methods research, including such luminaries as John Creswell, Abbas Tashakkori, Alan Bryman, Michael Fetters, Donna Mertens, David Morgan, Michael Patton, and Charles Teddlie (to name a few), each issue explores
- Original mixed methods research that fits the definition of mixed methods research; explicitly integrates the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the study; adds to the literature on mixed methods research; and makes a contribution to a substantive area in the scholar’s field of inquiry.
And
- Methodological/theoretical topics that advance knowledge about mixed methods research, such as:
- Type of research/evaluation questions
- Types of designs
- Sampling and/or measurement procedures
- Approaches to data analysis
- Validity
- Software applications
- Paradigm stance
- Writing structures
- The value and use of mixed methods research
Not only does JMMR offer original mixed methods research and methodological/theoretical discussions, it also includes insightful reflections by the distinguished editors on important issues in mixed methods research and extensive book and software reviews with practical applications.
The Journal of Mixed Methods Research's scope includes
- Explore terminology and nomenclature used in mixed methods research
- Providing a forum for discussion of parameters effecting mixed methods research
- Creating the paradigmatic and philosophical foundations for mixed methods research
- Illuminating design and procedure issues
- Determining the logistics of conducting mixed methods research
EDITORIAL BOARD
The editorial board consists of distinguished international researchers in the social, behavioral, health, and human sciences with expertise in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research. Editorial board members' names and affiliations are found under the Editorial Board link.
The Journal of Mixed Methods Research is a premiere outlet for ground-breaking and seminal work in the field of mixed methods research, as well as a primary forum for the growing community of international and multidisciplinary scholars of mixed methods research.

Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
The Journal of Mixed Methods Research's (JMMR) scope includes exploring global terminology and nomenclature for mixed methods research, delineating where mixed methods research may be used most effectively, creating the paradigmatic and philosophical foundations for mixed methods research, illuminating design and procedure issues, and determining the logistics of conducting mixed methods research. JMMR uses a double-blind review process and manuscripts are generally reviewed by three scholars, at least one of which serves on the JMMR editorial board. The journal aims to have each manuscript go through its initial review within 4 months of receipt.
SUBMITTING THE MANUSCRIPT
Electronic Submissions
JMMR uses an online submission and review platform. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jmmr. Authors will be required to set up an online account on the SageTrack system powered by ScholarOne. From their account, a new submission can be initiated. Authors will be asked to provide the required information (author names and contact information, abstract, keywords, etc.) and to upload the "title page" and "main document" separately to ensure that the manuscript is ready for a blind review. The site contains links to an online user's guide (Get Help Now) for help navigating the site.
Questions about the submission process can be sent to the Managing Editor at the following address:

SUBMITTING MEDIA REVIEWS
Guidelines for preparing and submitting Media Reviews are available from the Editors.
MANUSCRIPT EXPECTATIONS
JMMR publishes two types of manuscripts: original research and methodological/theoretical discussions.
For details about developing publishable mixed methods articles, please read this editorial:
http://mmr.sagepub.com/cgi/reprint/1/2/107
Manuscripts that report original mixed methods research in the social, behavioral, health, and human sciences. These manuscripts must:
- fit the definition of mixed methods research by collecting and analyzing data, integrating the findings, and drawing inferences using both qualitative and quantitative approaches or methods;
- explicitly integrate the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the study; and
- discuss how they add to the literature on mixed methods research in addition to making a contribution to a substantive area in the scholar’s field of inquiry.
Original research manuscripts that do not show integration or discuss how they add to the mixed methods literature will be returned to the author(s).
Manuscripts that discuss methodological/theoretical issues that advance knowledge about mixed methods research.
These manuscripts must:
- Address an important mixed methods topic;
- Adequately incorporate existing literature; and
- Contribute to our understanding of mixed methods research.
MANUSCRIPT REQUIREMENTS
Title Page -- Prepare a title page that includes the manuscript title, authors and affiliations, contact information for the corresponding author, and author acknowledgements, if relevant. The author names should only appear in the title page document. Manuscripts should be prepared with author names blinded throughout to facilitate the review process.
Style -- All manuscripts should conform to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Fifth Edition). The entire document should be double spaced and left justified, use a 12-point font, and have pages numbered consecutively. Authors should prepare an abstract and 3-5 key words. The manuscript should be prepared in MS Word (.doc) or rich text format (.rtf) and include: the text, references, endnotes, appendix(ces), tables, and figures. References, endnotes, tables, and figures must be on separate pages. Figures may also be placed into separate files. Indicate the approximate placement of each table and figure within the text with a comment such as "Insert Figure 1 about here." Please use endnotes instead of footnotes. Authors should use U.S. spellings and all references to authors within the manuscript should be blinded (such as by replacing author names in citations with XXXXXX).
Word Limits -- The full manuscript (including references, appendices, and tables) should not exceed 10,000 words in length for empirical studies and 8,000 words for methodological/theoretical discussions. In addition, authors should prepare an abstract limited to 120 words. Manuscripts that substantially exceed the stated word limitations will be returned to the author(s).
Originality of the Manuscript -- Authors submitting manuscripts to JMMR should not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content. Authors who have submitted manuscripts to other journals based on the same data are asked to state this in their cover letter and to submit copies of these other papers/publications for review by the Editors at the time of submitting a manuscript to JMMR. Authors in doubt about what constitutes prior publication should consult the Editors.
Obtaining Permissions -- Obtaining permission for any quoted or reprinted material that requires permission is the responsibility of the author.
Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in JMMR.

INFORMATION ABOUT PROFESSIONAL EDITING
Authors who want to refine the use of English in their manuscripts might consider utilizing the services of SPi, a non-affiliated company that offers Professional Editing Services to authors of journal articles in the areas of science, technology, medicine or the social sciences. SPi specializes in editing and correcting English-language manuscripts written by authors with a primary language other than English. Visit http://www.prof-editing.com for more information about SPi's Professional Editing Services, pricing, and turn-around times, or to obtain a free quote or submit a manuscript for language polishing.
Please be aware that SAGE has no affiliation with SPi and makes no endorsement of the company. An author's use of SPi's services in no way guarantees that his or her submission will ultimately be accepted. Any arrangement an author enters into will be exclusively between the author and SPi, and any costs incurred are the sole responsibility of the author.
