The results of the analysis are presented in Tables 1.1 and 1.2. Table 1.1 presents an overview of the methods used within the research reported in the papers reviewed.These data represent the number of papers utilising the methods embodied by the broad classifications listed above. This shows that of 107 papers and notes published in Volume 24 of the Journal, 76 used quantitative methods. Only 9 used qualitative methods exclusively. In addition, a further 12 papers used a mixed methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods. It should be noted that in a few of the studies which have been classified as utilising exclusively quantitative approaches, a brief mention of exploratory interviews was made, although none of this was reported
