Difference between method and methodology

The difference between method and methodology is that method is the tools of scientific investigation and methodology is the principles that determine how such tools are deployed and interpreted (Klein, 2007). In my own understanding, method are the tools you used in your study like statistics while methodology is the principles which governs how this methods are implemented, or the system of principles, practices, and procedures applied to any specific branch of knowledge (Mischel, 2002).
