Primary literature

Consists of clinical research studies and reports, both published and unpublished

Not all literature published in a journal is classified as this, for example, review articles or editorials are not this

Secondary literature

Refers to references that either index or abstract the primary literature with the goal of directing the user to relevant primary literature

Various systems index or abstract literature from different journals, meetings, or publications...in order to perform a comprehensive search, multiple databases must be used

Tertiary literature

Provides information that has been summarized and distilled by the author or editor to provide a quick easy summary of a topic

Considered established knowledge or standard of practice. These references may often serve as an initial place to identify information, due to the fact that they provide a fairly complete and concise overview of information available on a specific topic.

Advantages of primary literature

Access to detailed information

Ability to personally assess the validity and applicability of study results

More recent than secondary or tertiary literature

Disadvantages of primary literature

Misleading conclusions based on only one trial without context of other research

Need to have good skills in medical literature evaluation

Time needed to evaluate the large volume of literature available

Secondary literature

Systems do not index all the same, different databases may require different search terms to be used

Advantages of tertiary literature

Convenient, easy to use, familiar to most practitioners, excellent first-line resources when dealing with a drug information question

Disadvantages of tertiary literature

Publication lag time, may be incomplete due to either space limitations of resource or incomplete literature searches by the author

May include errors in transcription, human bias, incorrect interpretation of information, or lack of expertise by authors
