A research methodology is an outline of the procedures, methods, and techniques employed in a research study for the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data. Research papers contain a section dedicated to the research methodology of the study conducted. This section allows readers to evaluate the reliability and validity of the study.
Within this article, we will dissect some of the most common research methodologies employed in research to understand when they are used and what their individual characteristics are.
Conducting exploratory research seems tricky but an effective guide can help.
There are three key approaches that are commonly used in research and they are:Â
The quantitative research methodology is employed when the data being gathered is quantifiable and can be used to perform mathematical, statistical, or computational techniques. Some commonly used quantitative methods of data collection are surveys, online polls, and questionnaires.Â

Qualitative research is often used in market research as organizations not only want to understand what customers are doing but why they are doing it. This allows them to get a comprehensive understanding of their target market so that effective advertising strategies can be implemented.Â
A few characteristics of qualitative research are:Â

Additionally, qualitative data is more subject to interpretation than quantitative data and therefore the researcher’s observations and interpretations will significantly affect the quality of the study.

In research papers, the research methodology is placed after the introduction and before the results and conclusion.
