Faculty AND GRADUATE STUDENT Support

Statistical consulting available for researchers.

Statistical consultants are Purdue Fort Wayne second-year graduate students in mathematics who can assist research teams with experimental design and data analysis, as well as data analysis issues and statistical software problems.

When meeting with a statistical consultant, faculty researchers (or researchers and their student research teams) will need to bring a written overview of each research project. Consulting staff will ask questions and help formulate and design the project's stages. Research and Sponsored Programs staff will be glad to provide assistance with various phases of faculty research projects, such as the following:

  • Proposal preparation
  • Design of studies
  • Analysis of data
  • Interpretation of results

Publication

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research (JPUR) publishes outstanding research by university undergraduates and recent graduates from all disciplines who have completed faculty-mentored research projects at any Purdue University campus. The journal is run by students and provides young researchers with an avenue to their first scholarly publishing credit.

Each academic year, there are two submission deadlines for the annual volume. The fall deadline is November 15; the spring deadline is February 15. Submissions received after these deadlines will be considered for the following evaluation period.

JPUR offers two publication opportunities: full articles and research snapshots. Full articles must be 2,500–3,500 words in length with a minimum of five images/diagrams; research snapshots should be 250 words in length and function more as a summary or abstract, particularly of ongoing research. The proposal submission process is identical for both types, and students should indicate their preferred publication format when submitting their proposal.
