This July 2020 issue of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) includes an In Memoriam, a call for papers for a Special Issue, and six articles. In her contribution In Memoriam: Isadore Newman, Carolyn Ridenour (2020) honors the memory and achievements of a pioneer of mixed methods, Isadore Newman, who passed away in 2018. Professor Newman contributed books, chapters, articles, and conference papers to the field of mixed methods. Together with Carolyn, Isadore published their seminal book Qualitative-Quantitative Research Methodology: Exploring the Interactive Continuum more than 20 years ago (Newman & Benz, 1998). In this book, they detailed research as a holistic endeavor through an interactive qualitative-quantitative continuum. They emphasized the need for skilled researchers to be familiar with a variety of methods and encouraged the combining and integrating of multiple methods for enhancing the quality of research. Ten years later, they published Mixed Methods Research: Exploring the Interactive Continuum (Ridenour & Newman, 2008). A media review about this book was published in JMMR (Crain-Dorough, 2009). Professor Newman served as a founding member and contributed many years of service on the JMMR editorial board. We encourage JMMR readers to read Dr. Ridenour’s tribute to Isadore Newman. In the editorial of this issue, Fetters and Molina-Azorin (2020) announce a call for papers for a Special Issue on COVID-19 and catastrophic social changes. The unprecedented scale of the pandemic and the disruption of social institutions in the COVID era underscore the critical need for mixed methods research in virtually all disciplines and social institutions. Through the Special Issue, we seek to rapidly disseminate novel applications and innovative methodologies that could document the toll on and resilience of those affected by this catastrophe. We challenge researchers in the healing sciences, education, business, health policy, political science,

混合方法研究杂志（JMMR）将于2020年7月发行，内容包括《纪念备忘录》，《特刊》的论文征集和六篇文章。卡洛琳·里德诺（Carolyn Ridenour，2020年）在其《记忆：伊萨多尔·纽曼的纪念》中，纪念了混合方法的先驱Isadore纽曼，他于2018年去世。纽曼教授为该领域贡献了书籍，章节，文章和会议论文混合方法。Isadore与Carolyn一起发表了开创性的著作《定性-定量研究方法论：探索交互式连续体》已有20多年的历史（Newman＆Benz，1998）。在这本书中，他们通过交互式的定性-定量-定量连续体，将研究详细描述为一项整体性工作。他们强调需要熟练的研究人员熟悉各种方法，并鼓励将多种方法结合起来以提高研究质量。十年后，他们发表了《混合方法研究：探索交互式连续体》（Ridenour＆Newman，2008年）。关于这本书的媒体评论已在JMMR中发表（Crain-Dorough，2009年）。纽曼教授曾担任JMMR编辑委员会的创始成员并提供了多年服务。我们鼓励JMMR读者阅读Ridenour博士对Isadore Newman的敬意。在本期的社论中，Fetters和Molina-Azorin（2020）宣布征集关于COVID-19和灾难性社会变革的特刊的论文。在COVID时代，史无前例的大流行规模和社会机构的破坏突显了几乎所有学科和社会机构中对混合方法研究的迫切需求。通过本期特刊，我们力求迅速传播新颖的应用程序和创新方法，以记录受这场灾难影响的人们的伤亡人数和复原力。我们向康复科学，教育，商业，卫生政策，政治学，
