Compare and contrast primary source articles and secondary source articles. Which is preferred in literature searches and why?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Varies.
A primary source article is a first-hand account of a research study that is published in a peer-reviewed journal, while a secondary source article is someone else’s (e.g., the media’s) summary or interpretation of a research study. The results and findings that we read in primary source articles are more trustworthy than those found in secondary source articles because peer-reviewed articles are held to certain standards of internal and external validity. Primary source articles are therefore preferred in literature searchers.
