Abstract: This paper makes a conceptual clarification of some research elements---paradigm, methodology, design and method which have proved confusing to early career researchers, postgraduate supervisors and authors. This confusion has often been created and perpetuated by many research textbooks and journals over the years. By using a literature review and author's experience, this paper provides an exposition of the distinction and relationship between these concepts with a view to better the understanding and application of the concepts, for early career researchers, especially Master's and PhD students and post-graduate supervisors.
