If an article discusses old documents to derive a new conclusion, it is considered to be a primary source for the new conclusion E.G. Review Articles,meta-analysis [most peer review articles report new findings and thus are considered primary resources]

15. Tertiary Sources More peripheral Bibliographies, library catalogs, directories, reading lists and survey articles. Compilation of data…E.G. encyclopedias, handbooks Longer lead time in publishing…..
