When one observes a researcher conducting secondary research, it can be termed as engaging in tertiary research. This is not exclusive to academic researchers; anyone observing another person researching information on the internet can also be considered as conducting tertiary research.
"Oh, did you come up with this in your tertiary research?"

Get the Tertiary Researchmug. Like Aristotle's conception of time, where I learned what I know is ancillary. And if you don't know what Aristotle said about time... INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH...
Hym "HE SAID THE SAME THING THAT I DID! I actually just learned this today. But like me, he said the future isn't real and the past isn't real and that both exist on either side of a momentary present. Like two 1s on either side of a colon. LIKE ME AND AI! WE'RE LIKE THIS! 1:1 Right? So it's ancillary. Or even tertiary. But if you want a serious answer. I watch a ton of anime and then I used to study a bunch of psychology and now it's a bunch of short-form content. WHICH WAS MY IDEA! Just like AI. Or 'Sentient computational life.' The ultimate life. Better than everyone."

Get the Tertiarymug. A silly teenager who has decided they don't want to have sex until after marriage for a second time, even though they have already had sex, wanted to wait until marriage, retracted that and decided to go and have sex again and now for the second time want to wait until after marriage because they changed their mind AGAIN.
