Research Computing Support (RCS) offers UT Knoxville students and faculty, up to 15 hours of research and computing assistance per semester at no additional cost. We can provide technical assistance when you know the analysis method you need, but just need help getting the computer to do it. With co-authorship, we can also help you decide what methods of analysis would be best, and even help write or edit your methods and results sections.

If your consultation with us results in an intellectual contribution to a research paper, then acknowledgment or co-authorship would be warranted.  

Appointments made via the HelpDesk during busy times of the semester may take over a week to get, so please plan ahead.

ORCID iDs
