The present paper aims to review the various forms of research methods and map the similarities and dissimilarities among such research methods. The characteristics of several popular research methods have been discussed. The findings from the existing literature will be then used to formulate the relationship between various research method. The first part of the paper deals with the features of various forms of research methods. The second part of the paper uses the finding obtained in part 1 to formulate relationships among the various research methods. The relationship is discussed in the context of similarities and dissimilarities. The list of major of research methods that will be investigated for mapping the similarities or dissimilarities involves experimental research and correlation research method, basic research and evaluation research method, pure, applied and action research methods, descriptive research and statistical research method.
