I’m getting multiple answers for this one. Is market research an R&D expense or is it a selling expense?

This article says it is excluded from r&d. https://www.cpajournal.com/2017/10/30/u-s-research-development-tax-credit/

Thank you @monikernc

I could have sworn I saw somewhere that if market research is done under the auspices of discovering new knowledge, tech, etc. then it falls under R&D but in all other cases, it's not. Hoping someone could confirm that.
