Hi,

You’re right that there’s a difference between method and methodology: “methods” are the specific tools, techniques and procedures used to conduct your research, while “methodology” is the study and development of methods in your field.

The title of this chapter or section depends on the content. For example, Methods is the standard heading for a short section of a paper that simply reports what was done in a specific study. However, in a longer and more complex work (such as a thesis or dissertation), there is often a chapter that explains, evaluates, and justifies the methods used, with reference to relevant methodological literature; in this case, Methodology is an appropriate chapter title.

There, the title of that part of our research that deals with the method(s) that we used should better be titled, method(s) not methodology.

I wish to here from you, please.

Best regards.
