Looking for a mentor

  1. Find a mentor who works in your area and can help with what you need.
  2. Ask for mentorship. Say what you are working on and what you hope to get from it. You can have up to 5 requests waiting at a time.
  3. Talk in private. When the mentor accepts, you get a private conversation on My mentorship. Agree how and when you will meet.

Becoming a mentor

  1. Who can join: faculty (Assistant Professor and above, lecturers), scientists and postdocs, or anyone with at least 5 years of research experience, as shown on their SciNexID profile. Every mentor confirms their e-mail and is approved by the Science Catalogs team. A tick means an institutional e-mail (.ac.in, .ac.uk, .edu, .edu.au, .edu.in, .gov, .gov.in, .nic.in, .res.in) was confirmed.
  2. Apply with your areas, the topics you can help with and how many mentees you can take (1 to 10).
  3. The Science Catalogs team checks every application against the mentor's profile page on their institution's website, usually within two working days. You choose which requests to accept and can take a break at any time.
