1. Data sources and decision making

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Primary data : Primary data are information collected first-hand for a specific purpose by the researcher or decision-maker.
  • Secondary data : Secondary data are information created by someone else for another purpose and reused for decision-making.
  • Data origin : Data origin is the source’s starting point, such as who collected the data and for what reason.
  • Data purpose : Data purpose is the original goal for collecting the data, which affects how it should be interpreted.

Essential Points

  • Data quality depends on the source’s nature, origin, and purpose, which shape reliability for a decision.
  • Primary and secondary sources differ in collection control, so misfit between purpose and question can bias decisions.
