Primary and Secondary Sources

Primary sources are original documents, such as research articles, original research reports (such as dissertations and thesis), proceedings, and monographs. These sources should include at least 60 % of the references. Secondary sources are documents that gather their content from various sources, such as books, review articles, and television documentaries. These sources should cover not more than 40% of the references.

Documents Newness

The authors should use more updated documents. For primary sources, the JEP prefers five years of age or less. For secondary sources, the time limit is ten years or less.
