Primary research articles are those that relay the results of scientific study directly from the people who performed the study. Articles that convey this kind of information, most of the time, have a specific kind of structure designed to convey scientific information clearly. This structure can also help you identify when an article is a primary research article, as well as help you read them more easily.
Most library databases contain scholarly research articles (which, in some contexts, are primary sources) on various topics. This site will help you identify whether an article is a scholarly article or not.
