The bottom line is that you won’t publish as a freshman.

Not quite true… I know someone who was a second or third author on 3 papers (in engineering) in legit journals before they even started college, but that’s an extremely rare occurrence. She started working in a university lab as a high school freshman.

But if you start research as a college freshman, there’s no way you’ll publish that first year.
