A university library research-methods guide (Fitchburg State University) distinguishes primary research — the author conducts a method to gather new data, then reports, analyzes, and interprets it (experiments, surveys, case studies, focus groups, interviews) — from secondary research, gathering existing data produced by someone else (literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses). The lane framing is CTL's own taxonomy. (fetched in full 2026-10-17)
