Question

Hey! Wondering: what counts as a "primary source"?
I'm writing a research essay which requires one. I have many journals from sleep experiments and findings. Does this count?

Answer 1

Yes. Primary sources are eyewitness accounts. Journals, auto-biographies, etc are all primary sources. @Juliette_Rose

Answer 2

the journals arent written by the patients but by the researchers and are on their analysis. Just to be clear, does this still count? @DIDITHEDAD

Answer 3

That would also count. They were actually there when it happened.

Answer 4

thank you so much!

Answer 5

Yup!
