- Mixed methods research can be challenging to write it up. The question of whether to keep the quantitative and qualitative findings separate or integrate them causes a lot of anxiety in graduate and PhD students!
In this video, I walk you through the process of deciding whether to keep your different types of data separate from one another, or write them up together.
We’ll explore the factors that should inform this decision - notably your own research aims and the standard practices and conventions within your discipline.
Once you’ve decided whether to keep your mixed methods findings together or separate them, you’ll be wondering exactly how to structure your findings chapter. Which kind of data should you tackle first if you’re writing up separately? How do you avoid getting into a mess if you’re writing up qualitative and quantitative together?
I’ll guide and advise you on these questions, by sharing some examples of integrated and separated findings chapters.
I will also share questions you should be asking yourself as you write up your mixed methods findings, and share some tips on how to stay focused when you’re writing up two different types of data. It is super easy to become incredibly confused, but there are some simple ways you can zoom out go back to basics and revisit your overall aims and objectives.

Very helpful video. Thank you
You're welcome!
Very helpful thank you! I am just wondering if this is referring to the discussion section? In terms of the data analysis should they still be kept separate?
This very much depends on the traditions and conventions within your subject area or discipline.
Some prefer to keep findings and discussion completely separate, whilst others prefer an integration.
I discuss this further in this video, hope it's helpful!
