Writing Mixed Methods Research for Publication is a practical guide designed to help instructors teach students how to successfully publish mixed methods research. Recognizing the complexity of integrating qualitative and quantitative approaches, this concise resource walks readers through each stage of the article-writing process—from selecting a journal to navigating revisions—with discipline-spanning examples and actionable strategies. It addresses common challenges such as organizing methods and results, demonstrating validity and trustworthiness, and writing for multiple publications. Students will gain clarity and confidence in presenting rigorous, publishable mixed methods work, while instructors will find a turnkey tool for guiding them through the nuances of scholarly writing.

This is a wonderful contribution to the array of mixed-methods research books. It is a how-to-do book with rich examples and is written in simple language that will be easy for readers to grasp. Although the book focuses on mixed methods, much of the practical information will be useful for preparation of quantitative only and qualitative only manuscripts.

This work is an excellent resource for those who are seeking to publish mixed methods research in an academic journal. There are several unique attributes that will help students, such as publication checklists which help the student reflect on their formatting. As my own dissertation was a mixed methods project, this resource would have been useful when preparing for publication. I highly recommend this work!
