1. Methodology

   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 doesn't 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".
