Three main types of research methods are applied across most disciplines;
- Qualitative (the pizza tastes good and is cheap),
- Quantitative (the pizza has 30% cheese and costs $12.99)
- Mixed Methods (the pizza has 30% cheese and costs $12.99; the buyers think it tastes good and is cheap)
The librarians can help you research different methods and their applications.
- Many databases provide limiters for the methodologies
- Be sure to consult with your instructor | advisor to ensure your choice matches your topic or project instructions.
