What is the difference between primary and secondary sources of reading and primary and secondary sources of data?
I've never heard of primary vs. secondary sources ofreading, but I can provide an answer on primary vs. secondary sources of data.A secondary source of data is data that was collected for a reason other than the task at hand. A good example is US Census data. Marketers might use census data as input into decisions. An example of application of this data is as follows. Suppose you want to distribute your product in the 5 most populated cities in the US. You could find this info from census data, and go about distributing your product in those 5 cities.A primary source of data is data that is collected specifically for the task at hand, often via a market research study. For example, if you wanted to know what features of your product are most valued to buyers, you would design a market research study (i.e. questionnaire) to find that out. At the end of your study, you'd have the data to answer your question.---Note that there is quite a trade in used data. There's nothing wrong in this, provided all the relevant information about things like the purpose and reliability and possible sources of distortion of the old data are taken into account.
