A careful discussion of the methodology will include exactly who the population was, how many subjects participated, what the procedures were, where the research took place, how long the research procedure lasted, and all other details of the instruments (including the exact survey questions, for example).

That is, references in the text should be ordered alphabetically and contained the name of the author and the year of publication, e.g. (Thomas, 2001).
