Secondary Data is an important component of research. It is related to collection and processing of data by people rather than the researcher. The common sources of Secondary data are Census, large surveys, organizational records etc. Secondary data is considered as the data you have gathered from Primary sources to create a new research in sociology. Whereas in historical research, It is considered as a summary of a book or set of records.
Following are the benefits of Secondary Data:

- Provides a larger database as compared to primary data.
Its limitations can be as follows:
- Reliability is not guaranteed.
- It does not permit progression of formulating research question to designing methods for answering that question.

- The source of the data is not guaranteed.
