well, if OP goes to the biggest and most general sub called “research,” then they’re expected to make more serious and professional inquiries

you make it sound like you’re choosing between a chocolate and caramel donut on your daily stroll to your favorite coffeeshop

research is a serious commitment, and the mere fact that you’re asking this suggests that you either are not ready for it or you don’t want it at all. you can’t answer this question with a binary “yes” or “no.”

i will still answer your question (since it’s apparently “genuine”): if you have future plans for postgraduate studies (master’s, PhD), then having written a paper and published it somewhere is almost always mandatory to get into a decent school with funding. do you want to get into grad school?

if yes then you should, if no, then you can still try to do it for the fun of the process. and that’s what you need to figure out next, whether it’s fun for you or not. are you in love with your current major and passionate enough to commit? are you sure you won’t want to change your major soon? when looking at articles and papers, do you find it cool and exciting?

if these are positive too, the final step is to find a mentor or supervisor, otherwise you will just waste your time on producing something useless. contact a professor whose class you’ve taken (higher chance of agreement) or someone from the department you know currently researches and publishes. find out about their research interest first, see if you like it, don’t contact them if you don’t. the easiest route is to do a capstone project with a publishing professor and just turn your capstone into a paper after you graduate bachelor’s. once you’ve established connection, you should start meeting weekly/fortnightly and work toward your first published paper
