ABSTRACT
A specific research design or method is no guarantee that a study is scientific or that the results are credible or useful. This chapter considers different strategies that can be used to gauge the quality of MM-GTM research, including in the ways that research procedures or a final theoretical framework can be visualized effectively in a table or figure. A list of indicators of quality is discussed that extend beyond a singular reliance on transparency about research methods during reporting. The chapter is organized in three major parts. The rationale for the methodological similarities between mixed methods and constructivist grounded theory is re-iterated in the first section of this chapter. This is followed by an exploration of different ways that a grounded theory model developed through mixed methods can be presented, including in conventional and less conventional ways. Then we shift our attention to considering how a generic set of quality criteria can apply to MM-GTM. Finally, the chapter comes to a close by identifying challenges researchers face, which are unique to MM-GTM. I end the chapter and the book by recognizing intriguing topics that I was not able tackle within the confines of this book but would be well worth pursuing elsewhere.
