Overview:
Mentorship is a reciprocal endeavor where knowledge and skills are
transferred to improve the work performance and trajectory of one or both
parties. Based on the commitment of AAHB to cultivate research careers
through professional development opportunities, and the organization’s
commitment to fostering mentored research partnerships, this Special Issue
will highlight professional products stemming from, and perspectives about,
research mentee-mentor relationships.
While the Academy offers formal research mentorship opportunities (e.g.,
the Research Scholars Mentorship Program), mentorship transcends the
borders of the Academy. This Special Issue will feature manuscripts
resulting from mentorship experiences. Any manuscript or commentary with a
mentor(s) and mentee(s) as contributing co-authors (including students)
will be considered.
The following article types and topics will be considered:
1.
Full Article: Empirically-driven manuscripts generated as part of
mentorship relationships. Articles should be a maximum of 4,000 words and
adhere to the Manuscript Preparation guidelines described on the HBR
website (https://newprairiepress.org/hbr/policies.html#authors).
2.
Research Briefs: Empirically-driven manuscripts generated as part of
mentorship relationships. Articles should be a maximum of 2,000 words,
contain a maximum of 2 exhibits (tables, figures, or images), and include a
maximum of 25 references.
3.
Reflections and Perspectives: Commentary-type articles that provide
practical recommendations about forming and maintaining mentorship
relationships, effective mentorship strategies, and/or benefits of
mentorship collaborations.
Please note, requests to submit to the Special Issue do not guarantee
acceptance. Prior to submission, potential authors are welcome to send the
Guest Editors an abstract or brief synopsis of their proposed article;
however, this is not required. To the extent possible, the Guest Editors
will work with the potential authors to refine their concept to meet the
volume’s theme.
