Abstract
The relevance of effective mentoring of doctoral students in the chemical sciences is now widely recognized. However, the scholarly literature on the topic is virtually non-existent, and most approaches to faculty education on mentoring are based on “tips” and “guidelines. Following the analysis of current mentorship practices, we suggest a new approach based on evidence resulting from surveys of doctoral students, and on theory derived from studies in social and human sciences.
期刊介绍:
The fledgling State of Israel began to publish its scientific activity in 1951 under the general heading of Bulletin of the Research Council of Israel, which quickly split into sections to accommodate various fields in the growing academic community. In 1963, the Bulletin ceased publication and independent journals were born, with Section A becoming the new Israel Journal of Chemistry.
The Israel Journal of Chemistry is the official journal of the Israel Chemical Society. Effective from Volume 50 (2010) it is published by Wiley-VCH.
The Israel Journal of Chemistry is an international and peer-reviewed publication forum for Special Issues on timely research topics in all fields of chemistry: from biochemistry through organic and inorganic chemistry to polymer, physical and theoretical chemistry, including all interdisciplinary topics. Each topical issue is edited by one or several Guest Editors and primarily contains invited Review articles. Communications and Full Papers may be published occasionally, if they fit with the quality standards of the journal. The publication language is English and the journal is published twelve times a year.
