Introduction to Using Secondary Sources

Review of Primary Sources Primary Sources: source that is also your subject of study; the original words or ideas of a writer or researcher; “first-hand” information Examples: works of literature, speeches, letters, original research (experiments, surveys, interviews, etc.)

Secondary Sources Secondary Sources: sources written by others about primary materials or some other topic; “second-hand” information Examples: scholarly books and essays, periodical articles (newspapers, magazines, journals), reputable websites

Using Secondary Sources to “enlarge and refine” your ideas (Barnet, Bellanca, and Stubbs 108). Enlarge your ideas – Achieve a greater understanding of your topic and what others have to say about it – “to show that you have interacted with the scholarly community surrounding your topic” (IVCC Stylebook, “Documenting Sources”).

Refine your ideas – Make your essay more insightful and credible – “Without sources, the essay shows only your interpretation of the topic” (IVCC Stylebook, “Documenting Sources). – “to support your ideas” and to “show that other scholars share your perspective” (IVCC Stylebook, “Documenting Sources”).

Secondary Sources: Periodicals Published periodically (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly) Newspapers Magazines Journals

Magazines Examples: Newsweek, Time, Sports Illustrated, People, etc. Coverage: General or specialized Authors: Staff or guest writers Readers: General public Purpose: Make a profit, inform, entertain Characteristics: Relatively short articles, frequent pictures, glossy cover Example

Journals (Peer-Reviewed) Examples: Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of the American Medical Association, The Novel, Southern Literary Journal, etc. Coverage: Specialized Authors: Professors, researchers, professionals Readers: Professional/academic community (including students) Purpose: Promote knowledge and scholarship Characteristics: Lengthy articles, evidence of substantial research Example
