Secondary research involves existing data and documents which have already been summarized or analyzed. The term is widely used in health research, legal research, and in market research.
A key performance area in secondary research is the full citation of original sources, usually in the form of a complete listing or annotated listing. Secondary sources could include previous research reports, newspaper, magazine and journal content, and government and NGO statistics.
Eg: Reusing the uploaded data from General Statistics Office to clarify the theory: The economics of Vietnam has grown rapidly in some recent years.
