Douglass Sarley: Primary And Secondary Sources Games

Arleen Bussing: Primary sources are written by the scientists that performed the experiment and are writing about it. They are normally found in peer-reviewed journals. Your example is of a primary source. Primary sources can cite other articles, but must be based on novel research. Secondary sources are commonly found in general magazines and newspapers in the science sections. They cite original research, and contribute nothing new or original to the report.
