Sources of Data
Data collection can happen in two main ways:
- Primary Sources:
- This is when data is gathered for the first time by individuals, groups, or organizations.
- For example, conducting surveys, interviews, experiments, or observations to collect fresh data.
- Primary sources are firsthand accounts of information.
- Secondary Sources:
- This refers to data collected from already published or unpublished sources.
- Examples include books, articles, reports, databases, or other research studies.
- Secondary sources rely on existing data that has already been collected and analyzed by others.
In summary, primary sources involve gathering new data directly, while secondary sources involve using existing data collected by others.
