I propose {skelaltadji}.
skelaltadji = x1 is the scientific method used in science x2.

More importantly, the (short) lojban definition:
.i x1 me lo tadji be lo nu lanli x2 noi saske

The unusual part about my proposed lojban definition is the use of {me lo}.
I use it here because there is a particular kind of method that we think of
when we think of the scientific method. In other words, simply defining it
as {x1 tadji lo nu ...} would be far too vague. Of course, a full Lojban
definition would require explaning just what it is that the scientific
method *is*; my proposed definition obvious doesn't cut it, in that regard.

.i mi'e la tsani mu'o
