What is a secondary source?

Answer

A secondary source is uninvolved in the initial occurrence; often examines, interprets, reflects, or restates the primary, original experience. Some examples include reviews, criticisms, editorials, and analysis. Usually more available than primary sources; however, need to be critically examined for information intent, accuracy, and integrity.
