Visualizing Dynamic Fully Integrated Mixed Method Designs

Abstract
There are few models that embody ways to visualize the interactive and often dialectical interplay evident in methodologically complex, integrated mixed methods research especially when it involves collaborators or a research team. This methodological article informs both teaching and practice by highlighting 3 diverse examples of dynamic procedural diagrams that foreground integration. The models depart from the conventional practice of using a figure with a static, linear orientation to one that embodies fluidity within and across phases of the research process. The models contribute to the methodological literature by extending thinking about procedural diagrams during reporting to include the dynamics of an interdisciplinary team and/or other collaborators.
