How do I find empirical research articles?
Answer
You can find empirical articles in most library, article databases. Remember that not all journal articles are empirical. You'll need to search a database and then identify whether an article is empirical or not based on its full-text. Look for some tell-tale headings that will identify an empirical article like:
- Introduction
- Literature or Literature Review
- Methods or Methodology
- Results
- Discussion
- Conclusion
