The Internet is our main source of secondary data.
Thanks to the work of millions of people around the world, we can accelerate the collection of the necessary information.
Search engines make it much easier to find the information you need.
As you know, the materials they find are often:
- not always relevant to the query, as they have semantic barriers [different people assign different meanings to the same characters]
- contain both factual and estimated data,
- differ in commodity boundaries,
- refer to different time periods,
- written in different languages,
- voluminous,
- contradictory,
- incomplete.
All these nuances can make it difficult to find the information you are looking for.
To overcome these difficulties, we use:
- terms and synonyms of the subject of research,
- query language and advanced search of search engines,
- associative search,
- access to specialized paid resources,
- manual search in resources not indexed by search engines,
- native speakers to search in foreign languages,
We also combine it with other methods of collecting, processing and rechecking information.
Using the Internet, we compare ourselves with a sculptor - we just cut off the excess:)
In order to use the Internet effectively, we first of all try to understand the customer's task and each other's capabilities.
