What Is Secondary Research?
Secondary research is the analysis of data and studies that have already been published, such as scientific papers, market reports, patents, clinical data and government statistics. Primary research, by contrast, collects new data. A secondary research expert reviews all the available evidence on your topic, compiles the relevant sources, and delivers a written report with evidence-based answers to your question. On Kolabtree, secondary research is carried out by PhD and Master's qualified researchers from institutions including the University of Oxford, the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Reading.
