I've never done research before but my future PI went over some possible projects that she felt would be best suited for me. In explaining each one (there were 4 total and I was to choose 1 of them) she also mentioned the chances of me getting published for each one, saying that for 3 of them there was a good chance I could get published given that I stayed there long enough (>9 months) and that for one of them it was a long shot.
1. Do you have to do "independent" research (i.e. your own work) to get published?
2. Do you have to be first or second author, or can something less like an abstract count as a "publication"?
3. What else counts as a publication? Meaning what is the lowest form of acknowledging that you were a part of the project for it to be considered a publication? (and not your name being mentioned in "acknowledgments" section).
4. If you get to present, does it likely mean that you will have your name on the paper?
Thanks for the input!
