Spanish term

la Investigación propiamente dicha

Spanish to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. seems to be a standard phrase
Naturaleza de la Metodología de la Investigación propiamente dicha

it's the 'propiamente dicha' bit - sorry if it seems obvious...-?


they go on to describe the details of how they carried it out, etc.

not sure if there's an equally standard phrase in Eng.

strictly speaking, the nature of the research methodology

an option. I understand propiamente dicha = strictly speaking, but I also think it is sort of a throw-away phrase here in that it doesn't really mean much (esp. if this is a section title). I believe--but I'm not sure--that it's meant to modify naturaleza rather than "research methodology" ...

more appropriately, the nature of the research methodology

I'm not sure, it almost sounds like there was another term used for this one earlier on in the document, and they decided to be a little more specific
