  • Additional updates on the transformative worldview
  • Expanded coverage on specific approaches such as case studies, participatory action research, and visual methods
  • Additional information about qualitative and quantitative data analysis, social media, online qualitative methods, and mentoring and reflexivity in qualitative methods
  • Incorporation of action research and program evaluation in mixed methods and coverage of the latest advances in the mixed methods field
  • Additional information about causality and its relationship to statistics in quantitative methods
