Resources for formal mentoring

The following is a list of online resources available for the Formal Mentoring Process.

• Forum discussion is currently in a "Trial" stage and is held on this forum.

Formal Mentoring was pioneered in the USA, therefore some of the basic materials for the USA can be used as general guidelines, unless your country has specific guidelines to overrule them.

• Formal Mentoring Guidelines (USA)

• Formal Mentor Training (USA)

Documents

  Used to determine if an editor is eligible for promotion to the next rank.
