Using secondary data in Research works

I refer to Bryman and Bell (2011; chapter 13) and formulate the folloing agenda for dicussion of using secondary data in Dissertation projects/ Research works [Bryman and Bell prefer the term "secondary analysis", while I use the term "using secondary data" here:

Secondary data could be from other researchers' works or these data can be official statistics

1. Advantages of using secondary data
2. Limitations of using data
3. Considerations of using official statistics
