MENTORING PROGRAM

During the TVX submission process, we can provide the opportunity to receive feedback and guidance from established researchers. This year’s Mentoring program is specifically geared towards Work in Progress (WiP) papers, so that work that is still in a formative stage can profit from the experience of experienced researchers. 

In the mentorship program we get you in contact with a specific member of the community who will provide feedback and support for your submission. Those receiving mentoring will be offered:

  • Opportunity for feedback over Skype from their mentor
  • A commented draft at each stage.

Please note that this is primarily aimed at those who are new to submitting to the TVX community, those in circumstances which are particular adverse (e.g. a disability or personal circumstances which impact upon the paper preparation process), or a particularly novel submission which may require additional input.
