Daphne Watkin’s new book is part of the Mixed Methods Research Series, which offers unique and necessary instruction in this growing topic. With the increasing amount of secondary data available through journals and repositories, researchers have a trove of sources for new investigations at their fingertips, but few books to guide them. This brief text provides readers with a step-by-step procedure for incorporating secondary data into various mixed methods research designs. By emphasizing how to use existing qualitative and quantitative datasets in mixed methods research, the volume will help readers answer new and ongoing questions in social science research.
