Elizabeth G. Creamer is Professor Emerita from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA. She is the author of two previous textbooks about mixed methods research, An Introduction to Fully Integrated Mixed Methods Research (2018) and Advancing Grounded Theory with Mixed Methods Research (2018).
‘This comprehensive guide offers novice, early career, and even seasoned researchers an extensive opportunity to push their thinking on leveraging visual displays. It is particularly innovative in providing rigorous examples for unpacking complex research settings during the discovery and design phases.’ Dr. Emma P. Bullock, Associate Professor, Sam Houston State University, USA. ‘Creamer masterfully walks the reader through how to select the right visual display, how to use displays for complex integration, and how to construct and create high quality displays for publications. This is the book I needed years ago.’ Timothy C. Guetterman, Associate Director, Mixed Methods Program, University of Michigan, USA. ‘Visual displays can play a crucial role in both conducting and communicating mixed methods research. Dr. Creamer’s book provides a comprehensive framework for both roles. This book provides an overview of past use of visual displays, current trends, and points towards innovative uses of visual displays to advance work in this area. This book is an essential tool for emerging and advanced mixed methods researchers alike.’ Dr. Matthew McCrudden, Professor of Education, Pennsylvania State University, USA. ‘This groundbreaking text is destined to become a favorite among individuals seeking to enhance their use of visuals in mixed methods research and eager to introduce others to its extensive benefits. It is impressive to see such a diverse array of examples to skillfully navigate and enrich the requisite integration.’ Cheryl Poth, Professor, University of Alberta, USA. Author of Innovations in Mixed Methods Research, Editor of Sage Handbook of Mixed Methods Research Design.
