How Interpretive Qualitative Research Extends Mixed Methods Research (2006, methodology): “To counter this thinking, we summarize the stances of several writers who have discussed the value of interpretive frameworks in mixed methods (e.g., Oakley, 2000 ), and we cite a growing list of empirical studies that emphasize the interpretive frameworks.”
Randomised Controlled Trials for Evidence-based Education: Some Problems in Judging 'What Works' (2001, background): “…of evidence is of a particular kind only, and ‘trying it out’ is also only undertaken in particular ways: data are to be derived from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) – the controlled experiment with randomisation to ensure generalisability (e.g. Boruch, 1997; Oakley, 1998,2000;Tymms, 1999).”

Gender Issues in Parental Involvement in Student Choices of Higher Education (2003, background): “They were also all mentioned to our one male interviewer, suggesting some elements of over-determination in terms of masculinity of methodology as well as the gendering of choosing universities and parental involvement (Oakley, 2000).”
