Aims & Scope
The Journal of Online Mentoring welcomes manuscripts focusing on intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary research in online mentoring that address contemporary national and international issues. Examples of desirable submissions include, but are not limited to:
- Original empirical research that addresses important theoretical, empirical, or methodological gaps in the literature
- Research that informs the translation of theory into practice
- Research that provides relevant information for researchers and practitioners on best practices in design, intervention, implementation, evaluation, and outcomes
- Efforts that are the result of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary collaboration
Scholars, practitioners, and graduate students are invited to submit their manuscripts for publication following the Submission Guidelines for Authors. Several types of articles are published in the JOM. They are:
- Full-length empirical articles: Comprehensive reports of findings from quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-design research studies
- Brief empirical articles: Succinct summaries of findings from quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-design research studies of minimal scope (e.g., pilot studies)
- Comprehensive literature reviews: Articles providing summary and analysis of the body of existing research on a topic
- Book reviews: Reviews of books relevant to the disciplines (download the journal's book review guidelines)
- Scholarly essays: This section is for non-research but scholarly and academic insights related to issues of social, behavioral, or health sciences. These essays can be reports of innovative practice, reports of new practice, or other scholarly writing about the field of online mentoring. Such essays should be written in a scholar-practitioner voice that speaks to a knowledgeable audience
- Student research: Empirical articles or literature reviews which the first author initiated and/or completed in an undergraduate or graduate degree program
- Letters to the Editor
