Tips and Best Practices
At UNT, students are encouraged to develop strong research and writing skills to contribute
meaningful knowledge in their fields.
Here's how to get started and excel:
Clearly define your research question, objectives, and methodology before you begin.
A well-structured plan sets the foundation for strong results.
Explore existing research to understand current findings, identify gaps, and position
your study within the broader academic conversation.
Collaborate with faculty advisors or experienced researchers for guidance on methodology,
data analysis, and academic writing.
Keep detailed notes, track resources, and maintain a clear record of your findings
to ensure accuracy and integrity in your work.
Focus on clarity, coherence, and proper formatting. Use UNT resources and writing
support to refine drafts and communicate your findings professionally.
Present research through posters, oral presentations, or publications to build confidence,
receive feedback, and contribute to the UNT research community
