This applies to concurrent and fully integrated m ixed methods research designs in particular\, which remain underrepresente d in information systems research. In this paper\, we extend the prevailin g templates for this type of research and propose a new conceptualization. We argue that different research strands (e.g.\, qualitative\, quantitati ve\, computationally intensive\, or other) that unfold at the same time ne ed not be independent. Rather\, as they run concurrently\, they can intera ct and inform each other through ongoing cross-fertilization. This offers the opportunity for enhanced validation and deeper research insights. We c onceptualize how the interaction between the research strands may unfold a nd we propose a DNA helix analogy to enable and enhance the conceptualizat ion of such interdependent mixed methods research. We further explain the mechanism through which the different research strands interact in an ongo ing cross-fertilization\, and how interim meta-inferences may be continuou sly and incrementally drawn\, (re)shaping how each research strand evolves . The research process within this conceptualization is depicted in a flow diagram that can serve as a possible roadmap for this type of research. W e also show how this process can be documented\, contributing to more tran sparent accounts of how mixed methods research actually evolves. We refer to our research on cloud adoption as an example and further validate our p roposed research design with interviews with junior and experienced resear chers engaged in mixed methods research. We conclude with a set of princip les to guide interdependent mixed methods research and present their pract ical implications.\nTopic: UKAIS seminar\nTime: Mar 18\, 2025 11:00 AM Lon don\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://universityofsussex.zoom.us/j/99478185554\n Meeting ID: 994 7818 5554\n---\nOne tap mobile\n+13092053325\,\,9947818555 4# US\n+13126266799\,\,99478185554# US (Chicago)\n---\nDial by your locati on\n• +1 309 205 3325 US\n• +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n• +1 346 2 48 7799 US (Houston)\n• +1 360 209 5623 US\n• +1 386 347 5053 US\n• +1 507 473 4847 US\n• +1 564 217 2000 US\n• +1 646 558 8656 US (New Yo rk)\n• +1 646 931 3860 US\n• +1 669 444 9171 US\n• +1 669 900 9128 U S (San Jose)\n• +1 689 278 1000 US\n• +1 719 359 4580 US\n• +1 253 2 05 0468 US\n• +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n• +1 301 715 8592 US (Washi ngton DC)\n• +1 305 224 1968 US\nMeeting ID: 994 7818 5554\nFind your lo cal number: https://universityofsussex.zoom.us/u/ae7sfuBFu\n---\nJoin by SIP\n• 99478185554@zoomcrc.com\n---\nJoin by H.323\n• 144.195.19.161 ( US West)\n• 206.247.11.121 (US East)\n• 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n • 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n• 159.124.15.191 (Amsterdam Netherl ands)\n• 159.124.47.249 (Germany)\n• 159.124.104.213 (Australia Sydney )\n• 159.124.74.212 (Australia Melbourne)\n• 170.114.180.219 (Singapor e)\n• 64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n• 159.124.132.243 (Mexico)\n• 159.124 .168.213 (Canada Toronto)\n• 159.124.196.25 (Canada Vancouver)\n• 170. 114.194.163 (Japan Tokyo)\n• 147.124.100.25 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 9 94 7818 5554\n\n\n\n______________________________________________________ __________________________\nMicrosoft Teams Need help?\nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 350 287 729 405\nPasscode: 9GC2HQ3D\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241027T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
