Limit to Primary Research Articles

There is no perfect way to find primary research articles. Remember, primary research articles will describe a study that has been done, so you may want to try using the word "study" as one of your search words.

Or, if you happen upon a good review article, the list of references at the end might lead you to a primary research article.
