How do I find a quantitative research article?

Very few of the Library's databases will allow you to search for studies that used specific methodologies. Here's how you can get started in APA PsycArticles or APA PsycInfo , for example:

1. Run your search. (If you've never searched EBSCO before, this tutorial will get you started.)
2. Look at the Refine Results menu on the left-hand side of your results list. Scroll down until you find the Methodology heading.
3. When you click on the Methodology heading, you'll see the option to restrict your results to quantitative studies (or other specific methodology types).

Who do I contact if I need more help searching?
