Research Methodology and Design: Types, Methods, Tools, Tests and Analysis

Abstract

Research methodology is the systematic steps that  research takes to solve a research question. Research methodology includes research methods covering all  methods and techniques used to conduct research. The choice of both  methodology and method is important as it determines the quality of the research process and its results. This narrative and theoretical review discusses the methodologies applied to a particular research project and the factors that determine the choice of methodology. It also covers sample sizing, sampling techniques, data collection, and analysis methods across a range of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed research methods.

Keywords: research methodology and methods; sampling procedures, sample size determination, data collection and analysis methods
