One of the best books I have ever read is “Writing Science: How to Write Papers That Get Cited and Proposals That Get Funded” https://www.amazon.com/dp/0199760241/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_6MpxCb2Y2PH49
The book is easy to read and has DRASTICALLY improved my science writing. I read this book with my undergraduate lab (like 4 years ago) and still reference now in my PhD program.
I would like to add this book as well:
https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Young-Economist-MIT-Press/dp/026251589X
The title refers to economists but the chapters on writing and presenting papers -which constitute most of the book- applies to all disciplines.
For how to think about and approach research, you really can't go wrong with The Craft of Research by W. Booth & colleagues. For anything beyond that, such as methodological considerations for particular studies and perspectives within your own field, consider speaking with your professor(s) and taking one or more research methods courses within your department. It's hard to give any further recommendations without information about where you are and what you want to do.
