Differentiating between research methodology and method

Noorderhaven (2004: 91) clearly differentiates between research methodology and research method. A research “methodology is a system of ontological and epistemological assumptions on which research is to be based”; whereas “a research method is a particular strategy for collecting and analysing data”.
