10.  Scientific methods are:  systemic, structural-functional, cybernetic, probabilistic and synergetic methods, modeling, formalization  Disciplinary methods is a set of ways of knowing that are used in specific scientific disciplines that are included in a particular science, which is located at the junction of several Sciences (Biophysics methods, sociobiology and other). 10

11.  Interdisciplinary research methods is the combination of synthetic methods resulting from the combination of elements of different levels of scientific knowledge. 11
