An Array of Qualitative Data Analysis Tools: A Call for Data Analysis Triangulation. (2007, methodology): “Third, qualitative data often contain some inherent “richness and holism, with strong potential for revealing complexity” (Miles & Huberman, 1994, p. 10), which yield thick, rich descriptions that are contextualized (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2004).”
Qualitative Analysis Techniques for the Review of the Literature (2012, background): “As surmised by Onwuegbuzie and Leech (2004), lack of legitimation “means that the extent to which the data have been captured has not been adequately assessed, or that any such assessment has not provided support for legitimation” (p. 778).”
The Development of a Community of Inquiry over Time in an Online Course: Understanding the Progression and Integration of Social, Cognitive and Teaching Presence. (2008, methodology): “Moreover, collecting multiple data and using different strategies, approaches, and methods may increase the validity and reliability by eliminating limitations of each single method and complementing one another [16, 17, 18].”
A Mixed Methods Investigation of Mixed Methods Sampling Designs in Social and Health Science Research (2007, methodology): “Consequently, these effects matrices yielded an audit trail (i.e., address the challenge of legitimation), which many qualitative researchers recommended as a method of evaluating legitimation, enhancing legitimation, or both (Halpern, 1983; Lincoln & Guba, 1985; Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2004).”
Students’ Perceptions of Characteristics of Effective College Teachers: A Validity Study of a Teaching Evaluation Form Using a Mixed-Methods Analysis (2007, methodology): “Finally, with respect to significance enhancement, the researchers used a combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses to get more out of their initial data both during and after the study, thereby enhancing the significance of their findings (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2004a).”
Mixed methods research in school psychology: A mixed methods investigation of trends in the literature (2008, background): “As noted by Onwuegbuzie and Leech (2004, 2005), combining quantitative and qualitative research enables school psychology researchers to be more flexible, integrative, and holistic in their investigative techniques, as they strive to address a range of complex research questions that arise.”
A Typology of Mixed Methods Sampling Designs in Social Science Research (2007, unknown): “Simply stated, power represents how likely it is that the researcher will find a relationship or difference that really prevails (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2004a).”
The Validity Issue in Mixed Research (2006, background): “concurrent, sequential, conversion (Tashakkori & Teddlie, 2003; Teddlie & Tashakkori, 2006), parallel ( Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2004a ), or fully mixed (Leech & Onwuegbuzie, 2005; Teddlie & Tashakkori, 2006) manner.”
Prevalence of Mixed-methods Sampling Designs in Social Science Research (2006, methodology): “As such, the effects matrices allowed us to leave an audit trail, which is recommended by many qualitative researchers as a method of evaluating legitimation or increasing legitimation, or both (Halpern, 1983; Lincoln & Guba, 1985; Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2004).”
A Model Incorporating the Rationale and Purpose for Conducting Mixed-Methods Research in Special Education and Beyond (2006, methodology): “…analyses and those working with qualitative data are more apt to utilize qualitative data analyses, quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques may be used side-by-side to enhance the interpretation of significant findings in special education research (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2004).”
Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Mixed Research in the Field of Counseling and beyond. (2010, methodology): “The significance of qualitative findings, which we define as results that have meaning or representation (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2004a), should also be presented clearly.”
Mixed Methods Research: A Research Paradigm Whose Time Has Come (2004, methodology): “In many cases the goal of mixing is not to search for corroboration but rather to expand one’s understanding (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2004b).”
A general typology of research designs featuring mixed methods. (2006, methodology): “Wiedmaier (2003) conducted a Conversion Mixed Design, which was subsequently described by Onwuegbuzie and Leech (2004) .”
