Serials are published over time or may be in multiple volumes, but do not necessarily have a
predictable publication date. Periodicals are subsets of serials with predictable publication
dates, such as journals, which are published over time and are numbered sequentially for the
years published. This sequential numbering is seen in the year, volume, issue, and page
numbering of a journal. Monographs, such as books, hard-copy conference proceedings, or
pamphlets, are usually written once and may be updated with a new edition as needed.
Textbooks are monographs written to be used in formal education programs. Entire volumes
of books available in a digital or electronic format are called e-books.

I, who died in the 17th century?

ANS: D
The published literature contains primary and secondary sources. A primary source is written
by the person who originated, or is responsible for generating, the ideas published. A research
publication published by the person or people who conducted the research is a primary source.
A theoretical book or paper written by the theorist who developed the theory or conceptual
content is a primary source. A secondary source summarizes or quotes content from primary
sources. Thus, authors of secondary sources paraphrase the works of researchers and theorists.
The problem with a secondary source is that the author has interpreted the works of someone
else, and this interpretation is influenced by that author’s perception and bias. Authors have
sometimes spread errors and misinterpretations by using secondary sources rather than
primary sources. You should use mostly primary sources to write literature reviews.
Secondary sources are used only if primary sources cannot be located or if a secondary source
contains creative ideas or a unique organization of information not found in a primary source.

5. What is the purpose of the minimal review of relevant studies that the grounded theory
