Non-Empirical Research can include comprehensive reviews and articles that focus on methodology. It should rely on empirical research literature as well but does not need to be essentially data-driven.

In empirical reasoning the conclusion are based upon experiment and outcome of experiment. The three characteristic of empirical reasoning are empirical reasoning is inductive, self corrective and allow independent verification.

Key characteristics to look for: Specific research questions to be answered. Definition of the population, behavior, or phenomena being studied. Description of the process used to study this population or phenomena, including selection criteria, controls, and testing instruments (such as surveys)

Empirical reasoning is fundamentally inductive, self-corrective, and open to scrutiny and independent verification by the entire scientific community.
