4. Choose your sources carefully!
Sourcing is probably one of the most vital phases in the collection process: it is the quality of the sources monitored that will determine the quality of the information delivered to the recipient of the watch.
We have made a distinction here between web sources and social media, which are sometimes neglected by scientific watchers but cannot be overlooked in a global approach to watch, and specialized services, which remain the preferred sources of scientific and technical information.
There are many qualified sources for developing scientific intelligence. And we'll continue to offer regular fact sheets on the sources you need to monitor your environment.
