Reliable secondary sources are ones that are fact checked by experts and cannot be edited by the general public. This includes Encyclopedia Britannica, Gale Academic, Academic Search Premier, and other scholarly journals.

books, newspapers, pamphlets and encyclopaedias. Secondary sources involve generalization, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of the original information. Secondary sources are invaluable to sociologists, but they have to be used with caution.
