Which terminology

[bev sauer]

The answer to your first question depends on your work and your needs:

You need to think about what the method will yield in terms of the question
or questions you are asking.

The first step in any research project is to find a good question that will
engage you as a researcher. Then you can assess how individual methods help
you answer the question.
