RODRIGUEZ JIMENEZ, Andrés e PEREZ JACINTO, Alipio Omar. Scientific methods of surveying and building knowledge. Rev. esc.adm.neg [online]. 2017, n.82, pp.179-200. ISSN 0120-8160. https://doi.org/10.21158/01208160.n82.2017.1647.
Research methods described in contemporary literature become significant tools to search and explore the improvement of knowledge about the objective reality. Each method has a peculiar approach to the object of study, which reveals different categories. This paper tries to describe a new perspective to classify these methods in accordance with the function of the research process. A systematic bibliographic revision has been made to facilitate the classification of research methods used to meet the final research goals, which becomes an innovative and important outcome for research methodology. A distinctive proposal among methods that guarantee the search of information focusing on knowledge construction turns to be vital for the researcher who may use information as a tool to get oriented at the time of choosing the most pertinent method to reach project goals.
