<p>if i really do productive research over the summer and I decided that i want to publish a paper on this research...CAN I?</p>
<p>I mean, I am going to intern with a professor in his lab on HIS RESEARCH...but whatever data i get will be from MY OWN hands, you know? so...can i write a paper about it? or is that not allowed, since the research topic itself wasn't my idea, it was the prof's?</p>
<p>in order to get a paper published, do i have to come up w/ my own research TOPIC?
Or can i just follow along with the prof's research and then write about what i observed in that lab?</p>
