Fake Data For Research
Kiddo, u are suppose to start your research ideally a year or two before your paper for this reason ( I’m assuming you are talking about medical professional papers). If u do find yourself in this position where u haven’t collected any data then perhaps approach other groups who have started data collection or have collected and need help with analysis and discussion. Also sometimes professors might have old data collected and haven’t done anything with it so that’s an option if it somehow presents itself. Lastly, there are researches where u do not actually need to collect data at all, such as systemic reviews and meta analysis ( though I will admit meta analysis is a skill heavy research that requires a lot of time and effort in reading papers). I know it sucks a lot of people do use unethical ways of getting published and I hope Allah makes it so that u do not have to resort to them. I wish you the best with your predicament as it’s quite stressful.
