Primary ArticleAn article written by the researchers who did the actual work, usually published in a Peer Reviewed journal. As opposed to a Secondary Article. "Primary article is written from primary research, where the authors of the study are the people who actually conduct the research, collect observable information (data), and analyze results. "Think pieces" (reflective and theoretical essays) and secondhand, filtered accounts of what "research says" are not included in primary, empirical research."
