I analyze documents in my research and in one of the chapters I have some secondary diagrams and charts with numbers and percentages but I have sub-sections without numbers as well which can qualify as qualitative data. What I did not get is this...
Bowen (2009) mentions in one of his articles that, sometimes mixed-methods have document analysis. Which I did not really get. What method will I be adopting from what I wrote here? "A mixed-method with document analysis" or "document analysis with mixed-method"? Thank you in advance!

I believe that smart optimization algorithms that rely on quantitative characteristics can be used.
In a mixed method one could do exploration first with Personal interview.This method will give you some new variables which are not present in past studies.THen you so a causal study by using the SEM where you have these new and old variables.This way you can add to the theory of the past literature too.
