Market research involves systematically gathering and analyzing information to identify and solve marketing problems. It aims to characterize markets, identify trends and opportunities, and analyze competition and marketing effectiveness. Market research uses both secondary data from external sources and primary data collected directly from sources like surveys, experiments, and observations. It provides both quantitative data that can be statistically analyzed and qualitative data about opinions and values. Research can be internal, using a company's own information, or external, drawing from outside the company.Smis2

It consists of five evaluation criteria: Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. For each criteria, there are questions provided to analyze different aspects of the information source. For example, for Authority the questions consider who authored the content and their credentials, and for Accuracy it examines where the information comes from and whether evidence is cited. Applying the CRAAP Test criteria can help determine whether a source is trustworthy and suitable to use for research needs.Evaluating Internet Sources RADAR Worksheet

There are five main criteria for evaluating whether a website is suitable for research: relevancy, authority, objectivity, currency, and suitability. A researcher should consider whether the information is on-topic, who authored it and their credentials, whether it is fact-based or opinionated, how up-to-date it is, and whether it is at an appropriate level for the intended audience and purpose. Researchers should critically evaluate websites according to these standards and determine if higher-quality sources exist before citing a website in an academic paper.Carol jones evaluating web sites

There are five main criteria for evaluating whether a website is suitable for research: relevancy, authority, objectivity, currency, and suitability. A researcher should consider whether the information is on-topic, who authored it and their credentials, whether it is fact-based or opinionated, how up-to-date it is, and whether it is at an appropriate level for the intended audience and purpose. Researchers should critically evaluate websites according to these standards and determine if higher-quality sources exist before citing a website in an academic paper.Carol jones evaluating web sites
