Three Types of
Sources
Primary Sources
● Primary sources refer to “original materials.”
These are materials from a certain period of
time that have not been filtered, modified
through analysis, interpretation, or
evaluation. Also, primary sources are the
bases of other researches. They are
commonly the raw products of written texts
(print or electronic format). Hence, they show
original thinking, present a discovery, or
impart new information.
Secondary Sources
● Compared to primary sources, secondary
sources are not easily defined. Generally,
written after an original product, they usually
aim to give reflection or analysis. In short,
they are analyses, interpretations, and
evaluations of primary sources. Secondary
sources are not proof, but rather explanation
on and discussion of evidence. Secondary
sources may be classified as index type,
survey type, and reference type.
Tertiary Sources

● are those used to organize and locate


secondary and primary sources.
Indexes provide citations that fully
identify a work with information such
as author, titles of a book, article,
and/or journal, publisher and
publication date, volume and issue
number and page numbers.
