Empirical research is published in scholarly, peer-reviewed journals and in books.  Some library databases do not have a straightforward way to limit to empirical research. 

PsycINFO includes a Methodology filter to limit results to empirical research studies.

How to do it:

Type your keywords into the search boxes, as below, and click Search:

At the results page, under Refine Results, scroll down to Methodology and click the box next to Empirical Study:

Search results will update after you check the box next to empirical study. You may also want to limit by publication date or source type.
