How do I find empirical studies for my psychology research paper?

If you are a student researching for a psychology course, PsychArticles—part of the EBSCOhost database collection— has a filter that allows you to quickly limit to empirical studies within that specific database.

1. Choose the "Advanced Search" at the right of the main search box.
2. Scroll down the Advanced Search page to the "Methodology" drop down menu.
3. Select "Empirical Study" to narrow down to just these types of sources.

For help identifying empirical studies from other resources other than this specific database, visit this guide from Utah State University Libraries for some guidelines.
