Best Answer

A secondary source is a document or commentary that quotes or references a primary source, without first-hand knowledge of the activity or event.

A secondary source is a source other than the main source that is used to gather information. Just find another source where the same or additional information can be found.

A secondary source is a document or recording that relates or discusses information originally presented elsewhere. Good examples of secondary sources are books, encyclopedias and other materials in which information is already gathered in.

Secondary sources may be review articles where a scientist is making conclusions about another scientist's work versus a primary source article by the scientist who actually conducted the experiment or project. A book review is a secondary source of information to the actual book.
