Primary Sources for Science: Home
Learn about what are considered primary sources, how to find them at GSU, how to use them, and how to cite them.
Tertiary sources are reference materials like Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Handbooks, and Tables. They are collections of primary sources and secondary sources, that categorize and index information.
Cite your sources!
A primary source is an original research article, experiment, or set of data. It is someone else's discovery, idea, or intellectual property, so you MUST cite a primary source correctly to give those researchers credit.
