Mentoring Doctoral Students in the Chemical Sciences
-  26 May 2025
Graphical 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.
