This system distinguishes the priority given to one method over the other and the sequence in which they are used in a research project. Give two examples of this system.

QUAL + QUAN: equal importance of the two approaches and their concurrent use. QUAL à quan: sequenced use, with qualitative methods given priority. QUAN(qual): qualitative methods embedded within a primarily quantitative project.
