Mixed methods research (MMR), regarded as the third research approach, has been widely adopted in a plethora of disciplines. Integration is the pressing issue regarding the legitimation, the added value, and the quality of using MMR, though inadequate literature has discussed this topic. This study reviewed the integration strategies, particularly the innovative integration strategies in the empirical studies applied MMR by using Cooper's research synthesis approach within three databases from 2018 to 2019. Given the PRISMA methodology, 119 primary studies were synthesized in this review, including 91 categorized as generic MMR studies and 28 studies that adopted innovative integration strategies. Using the developed four-dimensioned codebook, three generic integration strategies were identified in 91 articles: (a) using good mixed methods (MM) research question to guide MM design, (b) using appropriate MM sampling strategy to obtain good data for achieving integration, and (c) using effective MM data mixing strategy to facilitate integration. Of the other 28 studies, three innovative integration strategies were identified at data collection phase: (a) using survey to collect both qualitative (QUAL) and quantitative (QUAN) data sets, (b) using visual support to collect both components, and (c) using high-tech methods to facilitate data collection. Another two innovative integration strategies were identified at data analysis and interpretation phase: (d) using data visualization and (e) quantitizing categorized QUAL data. Moreover, a thematic analysis was conducted to code the reported challenges among these published articles, whose major themes were the divergent issues of conducting MMR and the challenges pertaining to validity issues. Given the reported challenges, the identified integration strategies were advanced to solve relevant challenges. Based on these findings, this review provides an adapted MM integration evaluation checklist (AMMIEC) for MM researchers to gauge the integration quality and encourages the novice MM researchers to explore more innovative integration methods to realize efficient integration.
