This result emphasizes the ability of scientific concepts found within research articles to highlight not only topics focussed on the same objects, but also methodologically similar research directions.
Methodologically, using the same sample that was used in the BEE scale validation study makes this study somewhat exploratory.
"The field has become more methodologically sophisticated, while at the same time recognizing that much can be learned about the long term impacts of programs by taking advantage of existing administrative or archival data," Gorman-Smith says.
Coming from the industry, this method optimizes the number of tests to be performed by methodologically varying several parameters at the same time.
However, efforts with conceptually and methodologically different approaches have used the same umbrella terms such as "quality," "performance indicators," and "outcome domains," causing substantial confusion among providers and policymakers.
Methodologically, however, they perform it "exactly in the same way as new road schemes", quantifying benefits from reduced vehicle kilometres, increased average speeds and savings in fuel, accidents and emissions.
A central component of many systematic reviews is meta-analysis, the quantitative synthesis of information across methodologically and epidemiologically similar studies that address the same research question.
However, depending on information specialists in its implementation, this type of research is methodologically difficult: independent teams of information specialists search for the same research questions with different tools and are eventually compared on their retrieval performance.
At the same time, as mentioned above, there was an attempt to develop a more methodologically rigorous approach to theorizing about international affairs.
Those studies were methodologically most comparable i.e. those estimating the gross costs and using the same discount rate.
Methodologically, the distance between clinical research and medical care should be attenuated in the same way as the distance between observations and experiments.
