Métodos Mixtos y Diseños Emergentes en la Investigación Científica

Mixed Methods and Emerging Designs in Scientific Research: Foundations, methodological integration, and new strategies for knowledge production provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical framework for the systematic articulation of quantitative and qualitative approaches in contemporary science. The book covers everything from epistemological foundations rooted in pragmatism to the design of complex structures (convergent, sequential, embedded, multiphasic, and multilevel). Furthermore, it explores emerging frontiers of scientific development, analyzing the integration of virtual environments, digital ethnography, artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, participatory action research, and big data, while consistently placing ethical responsibility, traceability, and scientific integrity at the core of knowledge production.
