Dear forumers!

I've been translating lots of scientific stuff lately and there's something I need to get straight for myself. In Russian texts, they often use the word "особенности". Well, literally it means "peculiarities". But something tells me that I should use some other term.

To make things clearer, I'll provide a title the term is used in:

Methodological Specifics/Characteristics/Peculiarities of Forecasting the Development of the Industrial Sector of a Region’s Economy Factoring in the Impact of Shock “Impulses” on It.

I just need you to tell me which of the terms in red sounds the most natural to you. Also, I need to know if "factoring in" (taking account of) could be replaced by "inclusive of" or "adjusted for". Thank you in advance.
 
I really need this. Please!
 
Is it talking about all of the specifics of the methodology, or are only some aspects of it that are odd, curious, or peculiar?

Yes - it looks into all of the specifics of that methodology. That's the thing - I don't really like the term "peculiarities" in this context. Which one would you use personally?
 
I would say "methodological specifics" or just shorten it to "methodology."
 
What about :

Forecasting Methods for the Development of the Industrial Sector of a Region’s Economy...

or

Special Forecasting Methods for the Development of the Industrial Sector of a Region’s Economy...
(to set them apart from others)
