What problems of secondary data research quality must researchers face? The problem of secondary data quality that a researcher must face is verifying and determining the value of the secondary sources the researcher would like to use (Cooper & Schindler, 2006). How can they deal with them? Researchers who use secondary sources must make their best efforts to verify the accuracy of the information.
