Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary data refers to information that has already been collected by someone else, for a purpose other than the current research project. It can include sources such as government reports, news articles, and industry publications, among others. The key characteristic of secondary data is that it was not collected for the current research project, and so it may require validation and/or re-analysis for use in the current context.
