Research articles are often on a specific research topic, and are usually written in technical terms.
They may be original research, or a retrospective look at what has been done in a field.
They may be peer-reviewed (or not), conference proceedings, or journal articles.
To search for articles, it is recommend that you search in a database. Databases may be subject specific or multidisciplinary.
You can also use Google Scholar to find articles. Google Scholar will find articles that you might not find using a database - and vice versa.
A good, comprehensive search will search at least 2 or 3 databases (and/or Google Scholar), since each database is slightly different and covers different resources.
