Methodologic research entails investigations of the methods for conducting rigorous research. Methodologic studies address the development, validation, and evaluation of research tools or methods. The growing demands for sound and reliable outcome measures, for rigorous tests of interventions, and for sophisticated procedures for obtaining data have led to an increased interest in methodologic research by nurse researchers. Many methodologic studies focus on the development of new instruments. Survey research, not methodologic research, obtains quantitative information about the prevalence, distribution, and interrelations of variables within a population.
