In order to bring up quality information related to the field concerned, it is important to know what you are looking for in order to identify the most appropriate keywords.
Determine your information needs
Any documentary research starts with a definition of the need in order to clarify or refine the information need as well as the choice of the research method. This step can be based on a monitoring plan (ecosystem, objectives, etc.) or on discussions with the end user of the information sought.
Types of searches
Geotrend is able to perform both very broad searches on a complete market and specific focuses on players, products or technologies in particular. The keywords entered in the query will be decisive for the orientation given to the exploration of the documents.
Secondly, it is important to specify the domain so that the Artificial Intelligence in charge of collecting documents can explore in the right direction. This may concern a market in question (aeronautics, telephony, agriculture, etc.), a geographical area (United States, Europe, China, etc.) or a context (acquisition, partnerships, competition, etc.).
These two parameters will focus your search and allow you to identify the information concerning it.
("quantum computing" OR "supercomputing") innovation europe
The above query specifies the main subject of the search ("quantum computing" OR "supercomputing"), the context (innovation) as well as the geographical area (Europe).
However, if you want to discover a market, you can start your document search with a single very generic term, such as "quantum computing" here, to get a first global overview. You can then refine your search by adding other terms or by orienting your search according to a specific criterion (country, date, etc.).
For a query on a particular theme, it is recommended to launch several different searches to get a more in-depth look at the various aspects of the field. Each search can be classified in your catalog by theme and thus give you a global view of the issue.
