A word of caution on the use of Secondary sources: Try to keep their use to
a minimum by getting hold of and reading the Primary sources. Primary
sources contain more information which allows you to critically evaluate
and interpret the information yourself rather than relying on another
author’s second-hand and possibly biased account (Dempster and
Hanna, 2016).
It is acceptable to use secondary sources if: You can’t get hold of the
original source (for example, it may be out of print)
a) The original source is in a language you can’t understand
b) The original is very complex ( for example, some statistical journal
articles can be hard getting).
