Au grè de la recherche

Non-PRO French to English Social Sciences Philosophy Pamphlet
L'histoire n'est pas une science exacte, elle s'affine, évolue et mute au gré de la recherche. Avec le temps, les travaux des historiens révèlent une réalité souvent bien plus nuancée que les idées reçues communément admises

in accordance with research

History is not an exact science. It is refined, evolves and mutates in accordance with research.

This is a logical, well-known point. New research changes history.

neutral Nikki Scott-Despaigne : "In accordance with" does not quite convey the idea of the passage of time. "Along with" works better.
