Which level of literature should be the focus of the literature review?
1. Primary
2. Secondary
3. Tertiary
4. Raw data
Correct Answer: 1
The literature review should focus on primary literature or publications authored by the person who conducted the research. A secondary source is a description of a study or studies prepared by someone other than the person who conducted the research. Tertiary is not a level of source discussed in the textbook. Raw data are not a part of the literature review.
