1. Evaluate your topic of the study (Is it suitable for mixed methods research?)

2. Check the philosophy and theoretical foundations of mixed methods research (Do you build up your research into this philosophy?)

3. Describe the goal/purpose/research questions of your study (Are your goal/purpose/ research questions of your study suitable for a mixed methods research?)

4. Choose your research design and organize the strands of your study

5. Be sure that you explain a sample, collecting quantitative/qualitative data, analyzing the data in your each strand in a detailed way

6. Give your rationale for collecting both quantitative and qualitative data

7. Determine timing (Is it sequential/concurrent or multiphase?)

8. Determine the type of interaction (How do you mix the strands of your study? Merged, connected, embedded, within a theoretical framework or within a program objective framework?)

9. Determine the priority (Is quantitative or qualitative dominant or equal?)

10. Explain the overall mixed methods design by citing references

11. Display each strand of your study in a detailed diagram by drawing flow of activities that occurred during your research.

12. If something goes wrong in any stage of your research, turn back to previous stage and check it, find the error, correct it and go ahead...
