I understand the call for a distinctive third methodology, especially since my brain straddles the fence in the qualitative/quantitative debate. In the nonprofit sector, research is hampered by the lack of data and the need to generate data on a project by project basis that is rich with detail and applicable to practitioners. Greene makes a moving argument for a third distinct methodology. Isn’t this already the case? With as much research as I have uncovered, a journal devoted to it – Journal of Mixed Methods – isn’t this already covered? Who gives approval, Creswell? Perhaps it would be when the PhD programs begin teaching it, independent of other research methods courses. It would then be accepted as a third methodology.
