Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Sources

Doing some research allows you to discover the dominant ideas, theories, concepts, and debates that are presented in

the literature. In other words, research reveals what has already been said on your topic.

Since many sources of

information are available, you must evaluate the ideas presented in the literature and select only the sources that contain

accurate, reliable, and relevant information.

Each time you support your arguments with data, theories, concepts, and examples borrowed from other sources, you

must indicate the provenance of this borrowed material by providing accurate references done according to the right

referencing style.

Primary sources

Primary sources are original documents that were created during the studied period of time. They vary a lot from one

field of study to a nother.

௅ Humanities: birth or death registries, censuses, correspondences, historic treaties, interviews, manuscripts, maps,

newspapers, notarial acts, novels, paintings, period artifacts, photographs, poems, sculptures, statistics, surveys,

testimonies, videos, etc.

௅ Sciences: articles or theses detailing an original study, case notes or observations, clinical exams, conferences,

experimental protocols, industrial drawings, lab notes, patents, the periodic table, raw data sets or results, technical

reports or forms, etc.

Secondary sources

Secondary sources (also called academic sources or scientific sources) are analytical documents that interpret primary

sources. Among other things, they include books, electronic resources, memoirs, monographs, peer-reviewed articles,

and theses.

Peer-reviewed publications are more reliable than Internet sources (especially when they do not have authors). In fact,

Internet sources should be avoided, except for government websites, websites of reputable associations or websites

approved by the professor.

Tertiary sources

Tertiary sources are descriptive documents that compile or index primary and secondary sources. Among other things,

they include bibliographies, encyclopaedic articles, indexes and registers, library catalogues, and specialized databases.

Generally speaking,

tertiary sources aim the identification of sources rather than the evaluation of their content. Subject librarians at the University of Ottawa library can give you information management tips that will help you to conduct your research. Do not hesitate to contact them to get started on your paper.
