Quali-quantitative methods are research techniques do not comply with the norms and expectations of both qualitative and quantitative research. This definition is deliberately vague and emphatically negative. Indeed, a more precise name for these techniques would be “neither-quali-nor-quantitative methods” or “non-binary methods” since this approach is less interested in combining the best of the qualitative and quantitative world – a program better identified by the label “mixed methods” – than in breaking free from the constraints of both.
