About methodology

methodology is a research-methods guidance skill for researchers. It uses a study's question, context, and goals to suggest approaches and specify design, validity, and feasibility considerations.

Key features

  1. 01Classify research questions
  2. 02Compare 2–3 methods and trade-offs
  3. 03Specify sampling, collection, and analysis
  4. 04Assess validity threats and mitigations
  5. 05Review timeline and resource feasibility

Use cases

  1. 01Choose a method for doctoral research
  2. 02Design quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods studies
  3. 03Review a study plan for validity and feasibility

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

/methodology - Methodological Guidance

I provide PhD-level guidance on research methodology, helping you select and design the right approach for your research.

What I need from you:

Please provide:

  1. Research Question: What are you trying to understand or test?
  2. Context: Target population, discipline, or field
  3. Goals: Generalization, depth, causal claims, theory-building?

What I'll do:

  1. Question Classification: Identify research question type and appropriate methodology family
  2. Methodology Recommendations: Present 2-3 candidate approaches with trade-offs
  3. Design Specification: Detail study design, sampling, data collection, and analysis
  4. Validity Assessment: Identify threats and mitigation strategies
  5. Feasibility Review: Realistic timeline and resource requirements

My Guidance Covers:

  • Quantitative methods (RCT, quasi-experimental, observational, surveys)
  • Qualitative methods (phenomenology, grounded theory, thematic analysis, ethnography, narrative, case study)
  • Mixed methods (sequential exploratory, explanatory, convergent parallel, embedded)
  • Discipline-specific standards (psychology, medicine, sociology, education)
  • Methodology validation (quality criteria, rigor standards)

Let's begin. What is your research question?
