PRIMARY VS SECONDARY SOURCES There are distinguishing characteristics between a primary and secondary source. A primary source provides first hand information and is more reliable. Whereas, a secondary source provides information from another source, basically, looking from the outside to the inside of the facts, not first hand information or of their own experience. Primary sources are novels, autobiographies, witnesses, letters or emails written directly by a person, newpaper events or speeches. Secondary sources are encyclopedias, dictionaries, newspaper articles, magazines, etc. Both sources can be used as reference information to write term papers, research papers, or presentations. .

PEER REVIEWED VS. POPULAR SOURCE

There are distinguishing characteristics between a peer reviewed and a popular source. For instance, peer reviewed can be written in a specific language by experts for experts. It provides a name and credentials. A popular source has to be reviewed by a single person, an editor. The editor doesn’t have to have any knowledge of the written subject. The difference between the two is peer reviewed material has a narrower audience, contains footnotes and has no advertisements. A popular source has a broader audience, advertising and one editor. Academically, a peer reviewed would be specific to a specialized field of study like Medical or Law. A popular source would be more likely used in Fine Arts, Marketing and Advertising. Each can be used as an important part of your studies depending on your field of study.

PLAGARISM Is the use of another person’s work or copy of another person’s words without their knowledge or consent. For Instance, if you were to turn in a paper that include information that you copied word for word without any reference to it author. The importance of documenting sources is to give credit to the original author or after reviewing the reference that provided you with your information. We’ve concluded that we will always give a reference or note to the originator of our resources.
