'inductive scientific approach' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'doctor combined with an oath' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'an'+'oath'='anoath'
'combined' put after 'anoath' is 'anoathcombined'.
'anoathcombined' anagrammed gives 'BACONIAN METHOD'.
