Primary Scientific Literature. Primary scientific literature has several characterisitics: 1. They often have a Materials and Methods section and Results section. 2. Authors may use We or I to describe what was done. 3. They are usually very specific: mentioning particular places, organisms, etc.
Citing Primary and Secondary Sources: Citing a primary source by itself is easyâsimply cite the source in the text and reference list by following the guidelines in the style manual of choice. Citing a primary source that is discussed in a secondary source is not always as straightforward. Each style manual handles it differently. Some styles require documenting both the primary and secondary sources in the reference list, while others require citing only the source actually read (the secondary source).
