摘要
Metaphors used to describe the process of integration of analyses in mixed methods research are analyzed to determine various ways in which researchers think and write about integration. By examining the metaphors used and through examples of the application of each metaphor, the authors clarify the integrative processes they point to. The authors conclude this analysis by identifying from these metaphors eight principles to guide the effective integration of analyses in mixed methods research.
