Structure

Noun + によると / によれば

～によると is used to state the source of information, indicating where the speaker obtained the knowledge or report.

天気予報によると、明日は晴れです。

According to the weather forecast, tomorrow will be sunny.

Using it for one's own opinions rather than reported information from an external source.

Remember 'による' implies 'due to' or 'by means of', so '～によると' means 'by means of (this source)', i.e., 'according to'.

Import an article and tap any sentence using it. The explanation comes back about the sentence in front of you, not a textbook example.
