This section of the guide focuses on secondary research: Secondary research involves searching for information that's already been published to help find answers to your questions. Typically, you will do secondary research before you do primary research, because it's less costly and time-consuming. You might need to use a mix of the resources on this guide to do a thorough job in researching your idea.
