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
