Thanks to Yvette for calling this to my attention. Sage has just launched a new journal - the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (i.e., qualitative + quantitative). The first issue is available online, and you can obtain a free subscription to the first year's issues. The following information is taken from Sage's announcement.
The Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) is the only journal that focuses on empirical, methodological and theoretical articles about mixed methods research across the social, behavioral, health and human sciences. Supported by the premier researchers and practitioners in mixed methods research, such as John Creswell, Abbas Tashakkori, Alan Bryman, Michael Fetters, Donna Mertens, David Morgan, Michael Patton, and Charles Teddlie (to name only a few), each issue explores
* Original mixed methods research that explicitly integrates the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the study
* Methodological and theoretical topics

Hey, I think this is great! I am such an advocate for utilizing mixed methods approaches to social science research and I'm really excited to have [free] access to a journal that showcases nothing but mixed methods articles.

I wasn't aware this journal existed. I appreciate you sharing! Our library carries the Journal of Mixed Methods Research as an e-journal, so I took a few minutes to browse the most recent articles published. I came across (and printed) an interesting one that discusses the merits and warrants for considering mixed methods social inquiry as a distinctive methodology. Should be an interesting read!
