Hi everyone, I'm currently ploughing on with my methodology and wishing to God I hadn't done mixed methods - the philosophy is really grating. Anyway, I'm really struggling with my research question - turns out that it's not quite as straightforward as for monomethod studies. The thing is, I've seen a really nice article in the Journal of Mixed Methods that I'd love to read (but my uni doesn't subscribe to it) - it would be a massive help. I've tried every way to get hold of the article save for requesting it via my uni (which would cost £3-50!), so I wonder whether anyone may be able to pass me on an electronic copy if they have access to the journal? I know it sounds really cheeky, but this is one of those research defining articles that you occasionally come across as a student - I just know it. Please private mesage me if you feel you can help. Thank you :-)

doubt if my uni would have it, they never seem to have any of the articles I want! but surely they can get it as an inter-library loan? If you have to pay for it - would it count as an expense item? (That's the way I'm getting my new printer) Failing that, e-mail the author(s), they might send you a copy if they are feeling generous.

I went into Sage Journals (which is the publisher) but wasn't subscribed to that particular journal.

Sorry, not in your field, but how are you?

Someone has helped me with it, for which I'm really grateful. Thanks for your interest and help everyone.:-)

Hi Joyce, I did originally e-mail the author (the Godfather of mixed methods research, Abbas Tashakkori) about a week ago, but he never got back to me :-s I'd have put it on my expenses too, but it's already been spent on a netbook for my work. Thanks for having a look for me though.(up)

Hello, Dr Aloha...

I'm a busy a bee,
it's more challenging than fighting Mohammed Ali,
and I'm really hungry, can't wait for my tea,
thanks for asking after me ;-)
