I have conducted a quantitative and qualitative research for a research question, i.e. Challenges of KS & R within Oil & Gas sector of Pakistan. Results obtained from both the methods are complementing each other. What triangulation type is it referring to? And how can i justify & prove data triangulation? Please share any sample study for example? Thanks alot.
If you did separate qualitative and quantitative studies, this amounts to mixed methods. Note, however, that the term "triangulation" is currently out of favor in mixed methods because it has too many different meanings. You can learn more about this debate in:

Triangulating data will elucidate themes and improve the accuracy of the qualitative results. Triangulation involves multiple data sources collected through different methods in an effort to improve the validity of the qualitative results (Patton, 1999). Member checking could ALSO be employed to validate findings and resolve any potentially conflicting results (i.e., member checking is a qualitative method used to valid researchers findings with participants viewpoints). Marianne Storm any additional thoughts?
