Research playbook (ethical and effective)

1) Confirm identity

• Check alternate spellings, diacritics, and transliterations (e.g., Gérard vs. Gerard).
• Cross-reference unique anchors (field of work, notable works, organizations, awards).
• Beware homonyms; verify using multiple independent sources.

2) Search strategies

• Use quotation marks for exact names and add context keywords (e.g., “Sty Grard” composer).
• Try site: queries (site:org, site:edu, site:gov) and filetype:pdf for official mentions.
• Check reputable databases, press archives, library catalogs, and conference programs.
• Explore social networks by username variants; prefer verified accounts and official pages.

3) Verification

• Corroborate claims across at least two reliable, independent sources.
• Prioritize primary documents (official bios, institutional pages, press releases).
• Use web archives to track changes over time and confirm historical claims.

4) Respect privacy boundaries

• Avoid sharing sensitive personal details (home address, phone, family information).
• Distinguish between public accomplishments and private life details.
