Secondary research data in a digital age Advantages of secondary data. 1. Availability. Is faster and less expensive when researchers use electronic retrieval to access data stored digitally. 2. Money and time are some things that researchers need to save up and when they can access to the information in such a short amount of time and for free‚ they can be using that extra time and money in some other things 3. Secondary data are essential in instances when data simply cannot be obtained
