How to evaluate software research sources

Research sources can help you build a shortlist, but claims and peer commentary should be checked against your own requirements.

1. 1

   Research scope

   Understand whether the source covers verified reviews, vendor profiles, peer comparison, or product research.

2. 2

   Methodology and incentives

   Review how information is collected, moderated, ranked, sponsored, or updated before relying on it.

3. 3

   Independent validation

   Use primary vendor documentation, a trial, and stakeholder input to validate a shortlist.
