The application of mixed methods has been proposed in the dry port research to provide a multidimensional insight into seaport research issues. This paper provides guidance on mixed method application in dry port research and demonstrates that the implementation of mixed methods research is capable of providing comprehensive results by integrating qualitative and quantitative results in a single research. The availability of different dimensions and alternative designs lends this approach wide applicability, facilitating the production of valid and reliable outcomes and ensuring high level of generalizability of dry port research.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Transactions on Maritime Science}, author={Jeevan, Jagan and Bandara, Yapa Mahinda and Mohd Saleh, Nurul Haqimin and Ngah, Abdul Hafaz and Hanafiah, Rudiah}, year={2019}, month={Oct.}, pages={157–170} }
