Methodology Researchers Research Set Methods Rules Science Field

word methodology
definition A set of methods or rules followed in a science or field.
eg_sentence Some researchers claimed that Dr. Keller's methodology was sloppy and had led to unreliable conclusions.
explanation The methodology employed in an experiment is essential to its success, and bad methodology has spoiled thousands of research projects. So whenever a piece of research is published in a scientific or medical journal, the researchers always carefully describe their methodology; otherwise, other scientists couldn't possibly judge the quality of what they've done.
