I4NG: Exploring secondary and archival data in social science research: An introduction
Reusing secondary data offers significant advantages, such as saving time, expanding research scope, and allowing researchers to analyse large, existing datasets for trends across different time points or geographical contexts. However, it comes with challenges. Researchers must ensure the original data aligns with their research objectives, raising ontological concerns about the data’s representation of reality. Epistemologically, using pre-collected data may limit the depth of understanding, as it was not originally gathered for the specific research question. Additionally, issues like data quality, missing information, and contextual differences can complicate interpretation.
