摘要(Abstract)：

2018—2022年，在国际公共管理主流期刊上使用混合方法的研究数量迅速增长，年平均增长率高达21.3%。本文对2018—2022年发表在7种国际公共管理主流期刊上的126篇混合研究文章进行系统性分析。对混合研究从发表特征(时间、期刊、主题、作者)、研究方法(研究层级、数据收集和分析方法)和混合研究设计(类型、目的、整合)3个维度进行编码。通过单项分析并与2011—2017年的发表情况进行对比发现：第一，2018—2022年混合方法被更加广泛地运用到公共管理研究中，主要表现为发表总数的增长，各期刊发表数量趋向均衡，理论主题更全面，学者来源更广泛；第二，嵌入性混合研究设计迎来爆发式增长，这使数据的收集和分析方法、研究设计的目的和混合研究整合的方式都发生了巨大的改变。本文通过交叉分析展现了5种混合研究设计和不同研究方法在各研究主题的分布特征，从而为了解公共管理混合研究的现状、指引未来的研究议程、提升混合方法的规范性作出了贡献。

关键词(KeyWords)： 混合方法;系统性文献综述;嵌入性混合研究设计;国际期刊

• (4)Mele and Belardinelli (2019)提到3篇文章中有2篇使用了QCA,1篇使用了文本分析,但3篇文章中嵌入性研究均作为其他研究设计的一部分,因此没有被Mele识别为嵌入性混合研究设计。此外还有1篇使用了Q方法的混合研究文章(Palmer 2013),但作者因为无法探讨该混合研究的选择目的、排序和联结方式,而不得不在研究对象中排除了该研究。
