The methodology is the systematic and 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 is not intended to provide solutions - therefore, it is not the same as a method. Instead, a methodology provides the theoretical basis for understanding which method, set of methods or best practices can be applied to specific cases, for example, to calculate a specific result.
