Primary sources first
When possible, use original surveys, government data, research institutions and first-party reports rather than articles that merely repeat someone else's numbers.
Separate evidence from interpretation
A report can establish what respondents said or what a dataset measured. Broader conclusions should be clearly distinguished from the underlying evidence.
Research should make the Hub harder to fool.The point is not to collect impressive numbers. It is to improve the quality of hiring decisions.
Build a dated archive
Keeping older research alongside newer releases can make long-term changes easier to see without pretending every old number is still current.
