A journal can be considered a secondary source when it analyzes, interprets, or summarizes primary research findings rather than presenting original data or firsthand accounts. For example, a review article in a scientific journal discusses and synthesizes results from multiple studies, providing context and commentary. In this way, it relies on the primary sources of the original research but does not contribute new experimental data itself.

Gerneral Grant's journal entries primary or secondary source?
General Grant's Journal is a primary source. A primary source is an eye witness. It is what the person who was there actually saw. Such accounts are extremely important because they give a feel for the era. A secondary source would be what you would hear if one of your parents told you what they heard about World War 2. They would be passing on a story. Also, Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy, also wrote his memoirs. If someone took Grant's Journal and Davis' Memoirs and made a book, that would be a secondary source. Still, it might give a better overall picture of the war. So a primary source is one written by someone who saw what was going on.
