Published in 2020 and after.
I am working on the second chapter of a new book about research that pairs mixed methods and grounded theory (MM-GT). It’s called: Mixed Methods Grounded Theory: From Theory to Practice. It builds ideas from an inspiring batch of journal articles published in 2020 and after. A SCOPUS search in April 2026 of articles with mixed methods research in the title and grounded theory in the title or abstract yielded a surprising number of articles. 231 in total, with 145 were published in 2020 and after. I further curated the selection to concentrate attention on those using one or more joint displays to advance theoretical insight.
Although there are not dozens and dozens of them, I find it energizing to see the new ground that is being plowed in MM-GT. It’s inspiring to spot something new in just one article, but something similar across several recent examples of MM-GT. By in large, these are being published in topic specific, disciplinary journals in education, health, social work, and psychology.
For example, I just finished reviewing two MM-GT articles that developed a grounded theory paradigm model from mixed analysis. Both sets of authors developed blended or mixed themes from a joint display that were subsequently incorporated in final composite grounded theory paradigm model. These authors are among a select group in that their reference lists suggest some familiarity with the methodological literature about both mixed methods research and grounded theory. The examples are: Kim and Lee (2025) and Shikarpura et al. (2024).
My first book is: Advancing Grounded Theory with Mixed Methods Research (2022)
