[[Method]]ological [[quality]] refers to the level of [[rigor]] and [[validity]] in the [[design]], [[implementation]], and [[analysis]] of a [[research]] study. In other words, it refers to how well a study has been conducted and how confident we can be in its findings.

Some factors that can affect methodological quality include the [[sampling]] method, [[data collection]] techniques, the use of appropriate [[measure]]s and statistical analyses, the control of [[confounding]] variables, and the reporting of [[results]]. A study with high methodological quality is more likely to produce reliable and accurate results and to be considered trustworthy by other researchers and the scientific community.
