Finding Empirical Research in ProQuest

 Using "empirical" as a keyword will find some studies, but miss others. One technique is to search for "Research Reports":

• Use the "Advanced Search"
• Type your keywords into the search boxes
• Scroll down the page to "Document Type," and choose "Reports: Research"
• Choose other limits, such as publication date, if needed
• Click on the "Search" button
• If you prefer scholarly journals, look to the left side of the results screen. Under "Source Type," choose "Scholarly Journals"
