How do people go about research and get research published. If your helping a professor it's not really your research. So how does someone conduct there own research and try to get published.I want to do research and have no prior experience so how can I go about doing my own research?

Most students will email labs that are studying something of interest. They will then meet with the PI (principle investigator) to see whether the lab will be a good fit. When you start out, the PI will likely pair you with a postdoc or a graduate student, and you'll act as an aid on their research project. Hence, your very first scientific publication is likely to have you as a middle, rather than a first, author.

To get to a point where you're conducting "your own research" (by this I'm assuming you mean a project that you're the lead author of), you must develop the skills that make you comfortable in a laboratory. You will know that you've reached this point when you can formulate your own evidence-based questions and plan the experiments that can help you answer those questions.

Another thing that will help with publishing will be to use the correct "you're" and "their". 😉

You don't do your own research; you're given a project in a lab and THEN it's your research (well, it's the PI's research, but you're the main researcher).

It's rare that UG students get published...what med schools are looking for is that you learn something about the scientific process.
