Research Idea Clinic: How To Collect Evidence for a Strong Research Paper
June 25, 2026 · 8:00 PM ET
Join Jonas Katona, Managing Editor of Convergence Journal and a PhD candidate in applied mathematics at Yale University, as he shows students how to collect evidence that strengthens a research paper. Learn what counts as evidence in secondary research, how to choose sources that actually support your argument, how to avoid weak or unsupported claims, and how to organise your findings before writing. Dn’t miss this chance to understand how strong research moves beyond finding sources, and starts building a clear, credible argument.

How Indigo Research works
Indigo Research mentors high school students to produce exceptional, publishable research. With a curriculum designed by Harvard and Oxford graduates, students work with top university faculty or PhD fellows, building intellectual depth and boosting their academic profile.
Our students achieve real outcomes – journal publications, competition wins, and admissions to the world’s leading universities. Indigo students have a 33% Ivy League acceptance rate – over three times the global average – and a 22% acceptance rate to Oxford and Cambridge.
