The article cannot be used as a primary source, so the statement is false.

What is a primary source?

• It is a document created by its author.
• It is a document made by the person who witnessed an event.

Primary sources are original documents that use the author's own experience and events to compose. In this case, a journal article can be considered a primary source if the author uses his knowledge, and experiences to compose the document.

However, if this article cites original works by other authors, it cannot be considered a primary source, but a secondary source, because it uses other people's reports.
