What is method hierarchy? How should it be defined?
A variety of cases from diverse fields of inquiry (e.g. clinical epidemiology, art history) seems to suggest that there might exist method hierarchies. In order to properly address the question of existence of method hierarchies, we should first have a definition of the term.
In the scientonomic context, this term was first used by Hakob Barseghyan and Mathew Mercuri in 2019. The term is currently accepted by Scientonomy community.
