How to Distinguish Between
Primary
• Secondary
• Tertiary
• Literature
Primary Sources
• Source material that is closest to the information.
• A source with direct personal knowledge of the events being described. It serves as an original source of information about the topic. A person with direct knowledge of a situation, or a document created by such a person.
• E.G. Case Reports, Clinical Trials, Original reporting articles…1st person
Secondary Sources
• Cite, comment on, or build upon primary sources.
• Involve generalization, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of the original information. If an article discusses old documents to derive a new conclusion, it is considered to be a primary source for the new conclusion
• E.G. Review Articles, meta-analysis [most peer review articles report new findings and thus are considered primary resources]
Tertiary Sources
• More peripheral
• Bibliographies, library catalogs, directories, reading lists and survey articles.
• Compilation of data…E.G. encyclopedias, handbooks
• Longer lead time in publishing…..
