Sometimes you will need to find a specific type of research paper, for example qualitative or quantitative research, or review articles. These tips will help you limit your results.

Quantitative (which is about the measurement of a construct and is often numerical, precise, measurable)

• In the Abstract field of the search box try any of these related terms: quantitative, cohort, valid*, hypothesis, instrument*, method*, reliabilit*.

Qualitative (which is research for working at eliciting a narrative response and is experiential, not as easily measurable numerically)

• In the Abstract field of the search box, try any of these related terms: qualitative, survey or surveys, interview*, observation*, narrative*, questionnaire*, focus group*, sample*, scale* etc.

Review (systematic, scoping, narrative, etc.)

• In the Title field of the search box try searching for the word review. If you want a specific type of review, you can add that - for example systematic, scoping, narrative, etc.
