Primary research consists in research to collect original primary data. It is often undertaken after the researcher has gained some insight into the issue by collecting secondary data. This can be through numerous forms, including questionnaires , direct observation and telephone interviews amongst others. The term primary research is widely used in academic research , market research and competitive intelligence . There are advantages and disadvantages to primary research. Advantages Addresses specific research issues as the researcher controls the search design to fit their needs Great control not only does primary research enable the marketer to focus on specific subjects, it also enables the researcher to have a higher control over how the information is collected. Taking this into account, the researcher can decide on such requirements as size of project, timeframe and goal. Disadvantages Compared to secondary research, primary data may be very expensive in preparing and carrying out the research. Costs can be incurred in producing the paper for questionnaires or the equipment for an experiment of some sort. In order to be done properly, primary data collection requires the development and execution of a research plan. It takes longer to undertake primary research than to acquire secondary data. Some research projects, while potentially offering information that could prove quite valuable, may not be within the reach of a researcher. By the time the research is complete it may be out of date. Low response rate has to be expected. An example of primary research the government wants to know if people are pleased with how the government is being run, so they hand out questionnaires to the public asking if they are happy and, if not, how to improve.

Unreferenced date April 2009 The terms independent research and alternative research are used broadly interchangeably, to mean research that is not produced by a bank or broker , and thus is ostensibly less prone to influence from within a bank from, say, investment bankers keen to win company s Initial public offering IPO mandate. However, someone has to fund the costs of conducting the research, and when the funder is the company being researched, this form of independent research is termed sponsored or company paid research. Unfortunately, with the subject company paying directly for these services, this form of research suffers from a real or perceived lack of objectivity science objectivity , which reduces its value to investor s and hence to the companies themselves. Intermediated Research improves significantly upon the sponsored research model, by introducing important safeguards into the commercial and research process framework. Central here are the company has no choice in its allocation to a research provider once matched with the research provider, the company is under a long term contract in order to minimize commercial pressure or influence and the fees paid to the research provider are not sufficiently material for the company to be able to exert any influence over the content or conclusions of the research report. Collectively, these measures enhance the value of the report to investors and consequently, to the company itself. The Intermediated Research framework includes the further protections ensuring that the independent research firms involved have no investment banking or brokerage operations in their business model s conduct no traditional company paid research deliver a standard template for analysis of every company so that all standard topics are covered and avoiding ratings and target prices in the reports, since these can risk becoming a focus of pressure exerted on the research provider by the subject company.
