本文的目的是研究当前如何定义混合方法领域。作者询问了混合方法研究领域的许多当前领导者，他们如何定义混合方法研究。作者提供了领导人的定义，并讨论了他们在寻找划界标准时发现的内容。作者对“什么是混合方法研究？”这个问题提供了最新的答案。他们还简要总结了混合方法的近期历史，并列出了随着该领域不断发展需要进一步研究的几个问题。他们认为混合方法研究是三大“研究范式”（定量研究、定性研究和混合方法研究）之一。作者希望本文能够为有关混合方法研究的实践者如何定义和概念化的持续对话做出贡献。
The purpose of this article is to examine how the field of mixed methods currently is being defined. The authors asked many of the current leaders in mixed methods research how they define mixed methods research. The authors provide the leaders' definitions and discuss the content found as they searched for the criteria of demarcation. The authors provide a current answer to the question, What is mixed methods research? They also briefly summarize the recent history of mixed methods and list several issues that need additional work as the field continues to advance. They argue that mixed methods research is one of the three major "research paradigms" (quantitative research, qualitative research, and mixed methods research). The authors hope this article will contribute to the ongoing dialogue about how mixed methods research is defined and conceptualized by its practitioners.
