This issue explores advances in understanding mixed methods in philosophical, theoretical, and methodological terms and presents specific illustrations of the application of these concepts in evaluation practice. Leading thinkers in the mixed methods evaluation community provide frameworks and strategies that are associated with improving the probability of reaching the goals of enhanced credibility for evaluations, the evidence they produce, and the actions taken as a res 410 0$aNew directions for evaluation ;$vno. 138. 606 $aEvaluation$xMethodology 606 $aMixed methods research 615 0$aEvaluation$xMethodology. 615 0$aMixed methods research. 676 $a001.4 701 $aMertens$b Donna M$01666651 701 $aHesse-Biber$b Sharlene Nagy$01601761 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812109803321 996 $aMixed methods and credibility of evidence in evaluation$94116550 997 $aUNINA
