The phrase "alternative method of investigating" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing different approaches or techniques for conducting research or analysis.
Example: "In our study, we employed an alternative method of investigating the effects of climate change on local ecosystems."
Alternatives: "different approach to investigation" or "alternative approach to research".
By conducting a genome-scale analysis of positive selection we identified sets of genes, when taken together with data derived from alternative methods of investigating virulence factors, provided insights into other potentially important molecular systems connected to streptococci virulence.
An alternative promising method of investigating the possibility of drug resistance in helminth infections of humans is based on the notion that if rare resistance-conferring alleles were already present in untreated parasite populations, their frequency would increase with chemotherapeutic selection pressure.
A state space method for two-dimensional problems of orthotropic materials is proposed which provides an alternative method to investigate the mechanical behavior of homogeneous and laminated beams.
It was observed from the simulation results that there exists the obvious size effect on the thermal conductivity when the film thickness reduces to nanoscale or microscale, and the feasibility of the molecular dynamics method is a particularly good alternative method to investigate the physical characteristics of nanometer film when direct measurement are difficult to make.
Another approach that can utilize unrelated individuals to examine POE is Mendelian randomization (MR), an alternative method to investigate the causal nature of early life events (e.g., intrauterine fetal development) on disorders developed later in life.
When he felt he had spent enough time "waiting for the crystals to grow --a prerequisite to bringrow --a project forward--he decided to cut his losses and use alternative methods to investigrow --a prerequisiteintorest, which are involved in neurotransmission.
An alternative method of eliminating dry etch damage is then investigated by optimizing the Fillet Local Oxidation (FILOX).
Microwave heating is investigated as an alternative method of carbonization process for carbon fiber (CF) in order to reduce the energy costs.
The study described here was carried out as exploratory work to investigate whether an alternative method of analysis and synthesis could yield additional insights into the data from a set of papers.
