Multiple methods, or multi-method design, is when two or more research projects are conducted, each complete in itself, to address research questions and/or hypotheses, a topic, or a program(4). As with mixed methods, the studies may be a combination of quantitative methods, qualitative methods, or both.

What is the difference between mixed method and multi method?

The distinction is that mixed methods combines qualitative and quantitative methods, while multi-methods uses two qualitative methods (in principle, multi-methods research could also use two quantitative methods, but no one I know uses this label for multiple quantitative methods).
