Abstract

Within the academic context, mentoring is a positive and ongoing relationship between a professor and student that fosters academic growth and accomplishment. Thus, mentors are crucial for graduate students in both masters and doctoral programs. Currently, there is a lack of research regarding mentorship, especially when it involves common obstacles that a student may experience such as academic rejection, the pressure to publish scholarly work, and career conversations post-graduate school. Academic rejection refers to the act of receiving a rejection for a scholarly task such as a rejection notice for a manuscript, award, grant, or even employment. Accordingly, the current study aims to qualitatively explore academic rejection, the pressure to publish, and career conversations post-graduate school using a convenience sample of 75 current faculty members who are appointed to a criminology and criminal justice department at a university or college. Themes related to academic rejection, the pressure to publish, and career conversations are discussed, as well as the implications of these themes are further discussed.

研究生辅导:学术拒绝、出版压力与职业道路的研究

在学术环境中，指导是教授和学生之间积极和持续的关系，促进学术成长和成就。因此，无论是硕士还是博士研究生，导师都是至关重要的。目前，缺乏关于师友关系的研究，特别是当它涉及到学生可能遇到的常见障碍时，如学术拒绝，发表学术作品的压力，研究生院的职业对话。学术拒绝是指学术任务被拒绝的行为，如论文、奖励、资助甚至就业的拒绝通知。因此，目前的研究旨在定性地探讨学术拒绝，发表的压力，以及研究生院的职业对话，使用了一个方便的样本，75名现任教员被任命为大学或学院的犯罪学和刑事司法部门。讨论了与学术拒绝、出版压力和职业对话相关的主题，并进一步讨论了这些主题的含义。文章历史接收日期2022年10月2日接收日期2023年1月21日
