Research follows two methods:

Quantitative

Qualitative

Quanitative

Definition Quantitative methods emphasize objective measurements and the statistical, mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected through polls, questionnaires, and surveys, or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data using computational techniques.

Qualitative research is often regarded as a precursor to quantitative research, in that it can generate leads and ideas which can be used to formulate a realistic and testable hypothesis. This hypothesis can then be comprehensively tested and mathematically analyzed, with standard quantitative  research methods.
