What is it?

Triangulation in research refers to using multiple methods or sources to confirm or validate something you learned. By using different methods and sources, you can get a deeper understanding and make sure that what you’ve learned isn’t just a random story that applies to one person.

How can I apply this?

  • Use multiple research methods

  • Speak with multiple people and don't focus just on one expert

  • Mix quantitative and qualitative research methods
