Note
A plural that fits the countable uses of methodology best. The study of methods in a field is a single discipline, but whole systems of methods, practices and rules can be many, so the plural usually compares rival approaches: two methodologies for measuring poverty. The broader sense stretches easily until it means little more than methods. When methods will do, the shorter word is clearer.
