- Scientific books:
Monographies (whole
book by one author) or edited books (book with chapters from different
authors) - most authorative source, gone through lectorate and
reviewed, extensive bibliography, but slow (2-3 years between
writing and publication)
Proceedings from Scientific
conferences - mostly intermediate results, quick but "work
in progress"
Textbooks - aimed
at students, overview, less sources named, sometimes one-sided views
presented
- Customer communication (for instance blogs)
- new source for information, peer reviews, private websites/-logs,
"authentic" voice of customers
