While conducting a mixed methods systematic review of literature, I could not get an adequate guiding manual or videos which explicitly show how the mixing is done, at both the extraction and synthesis stages of the review. Even though there exists a recommendation that data extraction is commendable to do in different extraction formats, to the best of my search, I could not get material with explicit examples of the procedures required for the different types of mixing proposed in some existing manuals like the JBI Manual of evidence synthesis. Can anyone help me with sharing their experience (a self-explanatory article) with the technical steps, be it any of the types of mixing?
Dear Eshetu Andarge data extraction of mixed methods review should focus on both the quantitative and qualitative data you want to extract.
There is no specific guidance on data extraction for mix-methods review. You will need to analyse what data you will need that will support answering the research questions (both quanti and qualitative), and according to this, you can create your own data extraction tool.
I hope this helps
It is based on the type of strategy that you are using for mixed methods SLR. One way to get an idea on this is that identify similar studies and follow the process.
