These are sources which, usually, are accounts, works, or research that analyze, assimilate, evaluate, interpret, and/or synthesize primary sources.

They are academics, journalists, and other researchers, and the papers and books they produce. This includes published accounts, published works, or published research. For example, a history book drawing upon diary and newspaper records.

They consist of generalized research of a specific subject under consideration. Tertiary sources are analyzed, assimilated, evaluated, interpreted, and/or synthesized from secondary sources, also. These are not authoritative and are just supplemental documents concerning the subject under consideration. These are often meant to present known information in a convenient form with no claim to originality. Common examples are <a href="Encyclopedia" title="Encyclopedia">encyclopedias</a> and <a href="Textbook" title="Textbook">textbooks</a>.
</p><p>The distinction between <i>primary source</i> and <i>secondary source</i> is standard in <a href="Historiography" title="Historiography">historiography</a>, while the distinction between these sources and <i>tertiary sources</i> is more peripheral, and is more relevant to the scholarly research work than to the published content itself.
</p><p>Below are types of sources that most generally, but not absolutely, fall into a certain level. The letters after an item describes <i>generally</i> the type it is (though this can vary pending the exact source). <i>P</i> is for Primary sources, <i>S</i> is for Secondary sources, and <i>T</i> is for Tertiary sources.

According to <a href="Jeremy_Munday" title="Jeremy Munday">Jeremy Munday</a>'s definition of translation, "the process of translation between two different written languages involves the changing of an original written text (the source text or ST) in the original verbal language (the source language or SL) into a written text (the target text or TT) in a different verbal language (the target language or TL)".<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The terms 'source text' and 'target text' are preferred over 'original' and 'translation' because they do not have the same positive vs. negative value judgment.
</p><p>Translation scholars including <a href="Eugene_Nida" title="Eugene Nida">Eugene Nida</a> and <a href="Peter_Newmark" title="Peter Newmark">Peter Newmark</a> have represented the different approaches to translation as falling broadly into source-text-oriented or target-text-oriented categories.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
