Feedback:
A primary source is the original description of a study prepared by the researcher who conducted it; a secondary source is a description of a study by another person. A meta-analysis appearing in the Cochrane Reviews, a metasynthesis published in the journal Qualitative Health Research, and a systematic review published in the journal Nursing Research are examples of secondary sources. Literature reviews should be based on primary source material.
