ABSTRACT
This chapter is the “other” chapter, meaning that the content does not fit solely in Chapter 3: Methodologies nor in Chapter 4: Arts-Based Research, but are approaches that students are being asked to know and do. The first section is called “metas” and reviews and outlines different ways to survey the literature and describe its characteristics. Many students are now required to use one of these review approaches as a first chapter or manuscript for publication, replacing a traditional narrative literature review. The second section is on mixed methods and is included due to the increasing popularity and pressure on students to be savvy in both quantitative and qualitative methodologies and methods. The third section, participatory approaches, includes community-based participatory research, participatory action research, and community mapping. The chapter concludes with a brief description of case study and secondary data analysis.
