Mixed Methods Research: AI-Augmented Design, Analysis, and Publishing

Mixed Methods Research: AI-Augmented Design, Analysis, and Publishing is a practical and scholarly guide for doctoral students, faculty members, institutional researchers, and interdisciplinary scholars seeking to conduct rigorous mixed-methods studies. While grounded in education and the social sciences, it is relevant to researchers in health, policy, business, and STEM fields. The book provides a roadmap from research design to publication. It covers foundational mixed methods paradigms, core designs, integration strategies, and meta-inference development. It also demonstrates how AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot can be used responsibly to support literature reviews, instrument design, data analysis preparation, writing, and revision without compromising rigor or ethics. Each chapter blends conceptual clarity, applied examples, and practical workflows suitable for doctoral courses, faculty development, and research teams.
