A methodology is a scientific process aimed at identifying the most adequate set of methods for leading researches and analysing matters, with specific components such as paradigm, theoretical model, phases, techniques.
A Methodology doesnt provide solutions, but offers the theoretical instruments for understanding how a method, a set of methods or the so called “best practices” are compatible with the specific context where they can be implemented.
It can be defined also as follows:
⁕the analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a discipline;
⁕the systematic study of methods that are, can be, or have been applied within a discipline;
⁕the study or description of methods.
