Tertiary source
A tertiary source is an index or textual consolidation of already published primary and secondary sources that does not provide additional interpretations or analysis of the sources. Some tertiary sources can be used as an aid to find key (seminal) sources, key terms, general common knowledge and established mainstream science on a topic. The exact definition of tertiary varies by academic field. Academic research standards generally do not accept tertiary sources such as encyclopedias as citations, although survey articles are frequently cited rather than the original publication.
Revue de la littérature
Les notions de « revue de la littérature » (ou « revue de littérature » ou d’« analyse de la littérature ») désignent à la fois une méthode de recherche de documentation scientifique et une « catégorie » d’études scientifiques. Le produit de cette méthode de recherche est un souvent un article dit « article de synthèse » ou « article de revue » ou « article de revue de littérature » par les francophones (traduction de l'anglais Review article).
Primary source
In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source (also called an original source) is an artifact, document, diary, manuscript, autobiography, recording, or any other source of information that was created at the time under study. It serves as an original source of information about the topic. Similar definitions can be used in library science and other areas of scholarship, although different fields have somewhat different definitions.
Article (publishing)
An article or piece is a written work published in a print or electronic medium, for the propagation of news, research results, academic analysis or debate. News style A news article discusses current or recent news of either general interest (i.e. daily newspapers) or of a specific topic (i.e. political or trade news magazines, club newsletters or technology news websites). A news article can include accounts of eyewitnesses to the happening event.
Source criticism
Source criticism (or information evaluation) is the process of evaluating an information source, i.e.: a document, a person, a speech, a fingerprint, a photo, an observation, or anything used in order to obtain knowledge. In relation to a given purpose, a given information source may be more or less valid, reliable or relevant. Broadly, "source criticism" is the interdisciplinary study of how information sources are evaluated for given tasks.
Scientific literature
Scientific literature comprises academic papers that report original empirical and theoretical work in the natural and social sciences. Within a field of research, relevant papers are often referred to as "the literature". Academic publishing is the process of contributing the results of one's research into the literature, which often requires a peer-review process. Original scientific research published for the first time in scientific journals is called the primary literature.

Par métonymie, elles désignent également le lieu où l'on conserve ces documents (bâtiment ou local de conservation, ou encore l'institution chargée de leur conservation ou de leur gestion).
Méthodologie historique
Dans l'épistémologie et en histoire, la méthodologie historique désigne l’ensemble des réflexions qui portent sur les procédés, les moyens, les règles suivies et les contextes des travaux des historiens. Elle tend à expliquer comment les historiens produisent des interprétations historiques, définissent des méthodes considérées déontologiques ou tout au moins valides. La méthodologie historique cherche notamment à établir les causes des évènements historiques, ainsi que leurs conséquences.
Academic publishing
Academic publishing is the subfield of publishing which distributes academic research and scholarship. Most academic work is published in academic journal articles, books or theses. The part of academic written output that is not formally published but merely printed up or posted on the Internet is often called "grey literature". Most scientific and scholarly journals, and many academic and scholarly books, though not all, are based on some form of peer review or editorial refereeing to qualify texts for publication.
Sciences de l'information et des bibliothèques
Les sciences de l'information et des bibliothèques (SIB) sont la convergence des deux champs disciplinaires que sont la bibliothéconomie et la science de l'information. Elles regroupent l'ensemble des savoirs et savoir-faire utiles à la gestion de l'information consignée. La notion de sciences de l'information se retrouve de plus en plus, depuis la fin du , dans les intitulés d'écoles ou de formations pour les professionnels de l'information consignée (personnes chargées de gérer une bibliothèque, un centre d'archives ou un service de documentation par exemple).
