Understanding Secondary Data in Research by namitass is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Secondary data is data that has already been collected by other sources for different purposes. It is cheaper and more quickly obtainable than collecting primary data. Using secondary data saves researchers time and provides larger datasets than any individual could collect. However, secondary data may not perfectly fit the research needs and its accuracy is unknown since the researcher did not collect it directly.
