This review of recent scholarship (RRS) paper is a follow-up of the first, published in this journal in 2014. For this RRS paper, we identified and included 304 mixed-methods research (MMR) papers published in 20 top-tier applied linguistics (AL) journals. We used a six-pronged quality and transparency framework to review and analyze the MMR studies, drawing on six quality frameworks and transparency discussions in the MMR literature. Using the quality and transparency framework, we report on: (1) which sources AL MMR researchers use to frame their studies, (2) how explicitly they explain the purpose and design structure of the MMR studies, (3) how transparently they describe method features (sampling procedures, data sources, and data analysis), and (4) how they integrate quantitative and qualitative data and analyses and construct meta-inferences. The results of the analyses will be reported and will show how MMR has developed and is represented in the published articles in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The discussion of the results will also highlight the areas future AL MMR researchers need to consider to make their studies and reports more rigorous and transparent.

对近期奖学金 (RRS) 论文的这篇综述是 2014 年在该期刊上发表的第一篇论文的后续。对于这篇 RRS 论文，我们确定并纳入了 20 个顶级应用领域发表的 304 篇混合方法研究 (MMR) 论文。语言学 (AL) 期刊。我们利用六管齐下的质量和透明度框架来回顾和分析 MMR 研究，借鉴 MMR 文献中的六个质量框架和透明度讨论。使用质量和透明度框架，我们报告：(1) AL MMR 研究人员使用哪些来源来构建他们的研究，(2) 他们如何明确地解释 MMR 研究的目的和设计结构，(3) 他们描述方法的透明度如何特征（抽样程序、数据源和数据分析），以及（4）它们如何整合定量和定性数据并分析和构建元推理。分析结果将被报告，并将显示 MMR 是如何发展的，以及如何在二十一世纪第二个十年发表的文章中得到体现。对结果的讨论还将强调未来 AL MMR 研究人员需要考虑的领域，以使他们的研究和报告更加严谨和透明。
