Desk Research

Desk Research refers to secondary research, which involves the summary, collation and/or synthesis of existing research rather than primary research, where data is collected from, for example, research subjects or experiments. Sometimes desk research is required in the preliminary stages of research to determine what is known already and what new data are required, or to inform research design.

We at Cogniva Insights Research have a tailored approach towards your desk research requirement which comprises of searching for information using existing resources, such as the press, the Internet, analytical reports and statistical publications. This is then followed by cross referencing and the collation of data.
