Researchers and Student-researchers often start with tertiary sources when considering research because they help direct them to more in-depth material, help you develop vocabulary and terms specific to the research to be examined, and generally help to contribute to background information. Most of the time, the tertiary sources you read do not make their way into your research paper’s list of references or bibliography because much of the information is general. However, if you do end up referencing/citing specific pieces of information you must include it in yoru references list. So we’re going to practice.
