IMPORTANT NOTE:
The types of information that can be considered primary sources may vary
depending on the subject discipline, and depend how you are using the
material.
For example:
A magazine article reporting on recent studies linking the reduction of
energy consumption to the compact fluorescent light bulb would be a
secondary source.
A research article or study proving this would be a primary source.
However, if you were studying how compact fluorescent light bulbs are
presented in the popular media, the magazine article could be considered a
primary source.

Primary Sources
Definition:
Primary sources are original materials. They are
from the time period involved and have not been
filtered through interpretation or evaluation.
Primary sources are original materials on which
other research is based. They are usually the
first formal appearance of results in physical,
print or electronic format. They present original
thinking, report a discovery, or share new
information.
Note: The definition of a primary source may
vary depending upon the discipline or context.
www.uin-suka.ac.id
Primary Sources
Examples include:
 Artifacts (e.g. coins, plant specimens, fossils, furniture, tools, clothing, all from the time under
study);
 Audio recordings (e.g. radio programs)
 Diaries;
 Internet communications on email, list servs;
 Interviews (e.g., oral histories, telephone, e-mail);
 Journal articles published in peer-reviewed publications;
 Letters;
 Newspaper articles written at the time;
 Original Documents (i.e. birth certificate, will, marriage license, trial transcript);
 Patents;
 Photographs
 Proceedings of Meetings, conferences and symposia;
 Records of organizations, government agencies (e.g. annual report, treaty, constitution,
government document);
 Speeches;
 Survey Research (e.g., market surveys, public opinion polls);
 Video recordings (e.g. television programs);
 Works of art, architecture, literature, and music (e.g., paintings, sculptures, musical scores,
buildings, novels, poems).
 Web site.

Secondary Sources
Definition:
 Secondary sources are less easily defined than primary
sources. Generally, they are accounts written after the
fact with the benefit of hindsight. They are interpretations
and evaluations of primary sources. Secondary sources
are not evidence, but rather commentary on and
discussion of evidence. However, what some define as a
secondary source, others define as a tertiary source.
Note: The definition of a primary source may vary
depending upon the discipline or context. Context is
everything.
www.uin-suka.ac.id
Secondary Sources
Examples include:
 Bibliographies (also considered tertiary);
 Biographical works;
 Commentaries, criticisms;
 Dictionaries, Encyclopedias (also considered tertiary);
 Histories;
 Journal articles (depending on the disciple can be
primary);
 Magazine and newspaper articles (this distinction varies
by discipline);
 Monographs, other than fiction and autobiography;
 Textbooks (also considered tertiary);
 Web site (also considered primary).
www.uin-suka.ac.id
Tertiary Sources
 Tertiary sources consist of information which is a distillation and
collection of primary and secondary sources.
 Almanacs;
 Bibliographies (also considered secondary);
 Chronologies;
 Dictionaries and Encyclopedias (also considered secondary);
 Directories;
 Fact books;
 Guidebooks;
 Indexes, abstracts, bibliographies used to locate primary and
secondary sources;
 Manuals; Handouts
 Textbooks (also be secondary).
