• Bridging the Qualitative-Quantitative Divide: Guidelines for Conducting Mixed Methods Research in Information Systems (2013, methodology): “…the rhetoric of the differences among epistemologies and methodologies to develop a disciplined methodological pluralism (Landry and Banville 1992; Weber 2004), there is limited research that has employed methodological pluralism in the IS literature (Kaplan and Duchon 1988; Mingers 2001, 2003).”
• Methodological Implications of Critical Realism for Mixed-Methods Research (2013, background): “By taking this into account, we then discuss what is the CR view of causality and what is the role of validity within that.”
• Rigor in information systems positivist case research: current practices, trends, and recommendations (2003, neutral): “In the specific context of this review, a multi-method approach to research involves several data collection techniques, such as interviews and documentation, organized to provide multiple but dissimilar data sets regarding the same phenomena (Gallivan 1997; Jick 1979; Mingers 2001).”
• Contemporary trends and issues in IT adoption and diffusion research (2009, methodology): “For the methodological variables, we adopted categories from the previous studies of Avison et al. (2008), Choudrie and Dwivedi (2005), Galliers and Land (1987), Galliers (1992), and Mingers (2003).”
• A researcher's dilemma- philosphical and methodological pluralism (2004, neutral): “Mingers (2003, p1) argues that multimethod research was quite scarce.”
