Dear Ken,
I make a distinction (and please let me know if I am wrong) between design methods and design research methods.
According to this post what you refer as “design research methods” is what I refer as “design methods”. And what you refer as “general introductions to research and comparative research methodology” is what I refer as “design research methodology.”
Whereas design practice may require some “research” activities, these activities serve design purposes. That is why I don’t understand design methods as design research methods. I know that some of the design methods books you recommend use the term design research, and I think this has increased the confusion.
Best,
