Abstract

Mixed methods and mixed literature reviews can provide a window of opportunity for researchers to enter in the process of science internationalization. In this paper, we systematize concepts, design, and evaluation criteria related to research using mixed methods and mixed literature reviews. Initially, we performed a selective literature review, considering the criteria of text relevance in order to have an initial understanding of essential aspects of mixed methods and mixed reviews. Then, we present a case report showing the perception of Brazilian researchers on a teaching and learning experience on mixed methods and mixed reviews. As a result, we understand that knowledge on mixed research methods and mixed literature reviews has the potential to increase the capacity of national and international research; increase the critical mass of reviewers for the work in development agencies and national and international journals; and strengthen international cooperation for the development of research projects.
