Description

The article defines joint display analysis, following Fetters and Guetterman (2021), as "an iterative process in which researchers use the joint display structure to identify connections between qualitative and quantitative constructs and generate meta-inferences" based on the fit of the two data types. This allows researchers to acquire new insights beyond those provided by each component individually. The article positions this as a tool for the "cognitive process of merging, comparing, relating, and linking qualitative and quantitative data or results" during study execution, supporting integration and inferential transparency.
