Finding Secondary Sources
Secondary sources are the publications such as a monograph or peer-reviewed journal articles in which scholars present their analyses, insights, and claims. On occasion, things that were originally published as secondary sources can be analyzed by future scholars as primary artifacts about what scholarship was like at the time of the original publication.
