Round 2
Reviewer 2 Report
Substantive: two sections on grounded theory (3.2 and 4.2) are not well integrated in the paper: the abstract and discussion/conclusions don't mention grounded theory at all. Thus, the importance of these two sections is not clear to the reader. Are they essential to the article's argument about the value of mixed methods? If not, delete. If they are, then re-frame the article to provide a rationale for them.
Minor writing: revise lines 147-148 to read: Mixed methods have been used for the last 30 years or so...
