Some databases allow you to limit your search results by methodology. For example, PsycINFO allows you to limit your results by methodology in the "Search Options" section below the search boxes. This will return in your search only those studies that are empirical (primary) research, quantitative or qualitative, or secondary sources such as literature reviews or meta-analyses. Depending on the subject you are researching, these terms may vary in their definitions. If the database you are searching doesn't offer this feature, you can also use the methodology terms themselves as keywords.
