Mono-methods
What is it?
Mono-method research is when either quantitative or qualitative data is collected rather than
a combination of both. This may be due to the demands of the philosophy, philosophical
choices and strategies employed. It could also be used to research an opposing view to
existing mono-method research.

Mixed-methods
What is it?
Mixed-methods research is when the researcher uses quantitative and qualitative research
methods in the process of their study, data collection and analysis. It can be argued that by
combining both types of research, the limitations of each individual method can be offset and
gaps of data can be filled or predicted.
