Primary sources

A primary source is an original object or document -- the raw material or first-handinformation. Primary sources include historical and legal documents, eyewitnessaccounts, results of experiments, statistical data, pieces of creative writing, and artobjects. In the natural and social sciences, primary sources are often empiricalstudies -- research where an experiment was done or a direct observation was made.

The results of empirical studies are typically found in scholarly articles or papersdelivered at conferences, so those articles and papers that present the originalresults are considered primary sources.

Secondary sources

A secondary source is something written about a primary source. Secondarysources include comments on, interpretations of, or discussions about the original

material. You can think of secondary sources as second-hand information. If I tell yousomething, I am the primary source. If you tell someone else what I told you, you arethe secondary source. Secondary source materials can be articles in newspapers orpopular magazines, book or movie reviews, or articles found in scholarly journals thatdiscuss or evaluate someone else's original research.
