- Critical Appraisal of Mixed Methods Studies (2013, methodology): “O’Cathain (2010) proposes a framework with 44 appraisal criteria situated within eight domains of quality: planning quality, design quality, data quality, interpretive rigor, inference transferability, reporting quality, synthesizability, and utility.”
- Adoption and Dissemination Pathways for Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies and Practices for Climate-Resilient Livelihoods in Lushoto, Northeast Tanzania (2017, methodology): “The use of both qualitative and quantitative methods led to cross-checking multiple data sources to increase trust in the validity of the study conclusions [35].”
- Psychosocial factors associated with talent development in football: A systematic review (2017, methodology): “The MMAT was originally designed based on critical examination of 17 health-related reviews and subsequently revised based on a comprehensive framework for assessing the quality of mixed-methods research (O'Cathain, 2010).”
- The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) version 2018 for information professionals and researchers (2018, unknown): “In doing so, the MMAT acknowledges the methodological distinctive characteristics specific to each component used in mixed methods studies (i.e., qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods) (O’Cathain, 2010).”

- Making Paradigms Meaningful in Mixed Methods Research (2016, background): “I would argue also that data transparency, considered a characteristic of quality mixed methods research (O’Cathain, 2010), after the research study can then assist in maintaining a positive relationship with the community.”
