Somebody from the past, like a diary entry from Julius Caesar. But also, a primary source can be written recently, for example, a Journal Article, Newspaper Article, Birth Certificate, Death Certificate. The thing to remember about the difference between a Primary Source and a Secondary Source is: Has it been cited or quoted or is this the original information? If I find an article written by Person A that quotes Person B who quotes Julius Caesar, that is NOT a primary source. The original words Person A used in his/her article--minus quoted material--is a Primary Source.
A scientific research article is typically considered a primary source because it presents original research findings, methodologies, and data directly from the authors. It reports new results and insights that have not been previously published. In contrast, secondary sources summarize, analyze, or interpret primary research, such as review articles or textbooks.
Primary polluters are air pollutants that come directly from a source. A volcanic eruption is an example of a primary pollutant.
Corroborating sources allows a scientist to validate their findings by comparing them with independent evidence from other studies or data. This process enhances the reliability and credibility of their research, as it helps identify consistent patterns or discrepancies. An example of a primary source is a research article presenting original experimental results, which can be compared with other studies to strengthen or challenge the conclusions drawn.
