Sekundaarset

Sekundaarset is a term used in the field of information science and knowledge organization to describe a secondary source of information. Unlike primary sources, which are original works or firsthand accounts, secondary sources are derived from primary sources and provide interpretations, analyses, or summaries of the original information. These sources are often found in academic journals, books, reviews, and other scholarly publications. Secondary sources are valuable for researchers and students as they can provide context, synthesis, and critical evaluation of primary sources. They help in understanding the broader implications and significance of the original research. However, it is important to critically evaluate secondary sources as they may introduce biases or interpretations that differ from the original findings.
