Research

Research comprises "creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications." It is used to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve new or existing problems, support theorems, or develop new theories. A research project may also be an expansion on past work in the field. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects, or the project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) are documentation, discovery, interpretation, or the research and development (R&D) of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner research, etc.

Methodology

Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study. It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a branch of knowledge. Typically, it encompasses concepts such as paradigm, theoretical model, phases and quantitative or qualitative techniques.

A methodology does not set out to provide solutions - it is, therefore, not the same as a method. Instead, a methodology offers the theoretical underpinning for understanding which method, set of methods, or so-called “best practices” can be applied to specific case, for example, to calculating a specific result.

It has been 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".

Relationship among methodology, theory, paradigm, algorithm and method

The methodology is the general research strategy that outlines the way in which research is to be undertaken and, among other things, identifies the methods to be used in it. These methods, described in the methodology, define the means or modes of data collection or, sometimes, how a specific result is to be calculated.Methodology does not define specific methods, even though much attention is given to the nature and kinds of processes to be followed in a particular procedure or to attain an objective.

I Say Yeah Yeah

Sucking me inBlowing me out
Don't you know how to get what you want
Everybody says you're a heartless cow
I say yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about
Baby you go hot and you go cold
Like I don't know why
Am I standing on your doorstep waiting for another
chance?
Or am I standing at the bar when you ask me for a
dance?
One day you'll come around in pieces and I send you off
together
And I call to check you're OK and I wish I didn't
bother
When you tell me you're too stoned to say why you never
phoned today
Sucking me in
Blowing me out
Don't you know how to get what you want
Everbody says you're a heartless cow
I say yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about
You don't hear me when I say you're everything I want
You say Remember Carolina? How you slept upon her chest
that time
When you were learning how to drive, and I was just
trying to stay alive'
Well I should have seen how hard you tried and met you
in the middle
Now you look at me like I'm a stranger, and I feel like
a fool again
Sucking me in
Blowing me out
Don't you know how to get what you want
Everbody says you're a heartless cow
