Method is a set of criteria for employment in theory assessment. Three different types of criteria have been identified so far: criteria of demarcation, criteria of acceptance, and criteria of compatibility. Methods should not be confused with openly professed methodologies. Methods should also be differentiated from research techniques, which are used in theory construction and data gathering.
