Narratives and Practices of Mentorship in Scholarly Publication Routledge Studies in English for Research Publication Purposes Series

This edited volume explores mentorship in knowledge production and dissemination and examines its implications for academic lives and careers of novice scholarly writers.

By bringing together experts in a variety of areas in applied linguistics, the book addresses the complex topic of mentorship in scholarly publication practices of junior scholars. Drawing on the perspectives and experiences of novice scholars, supervisors, practitioners, and researchers, it intends to demystify the socialization process of junior academics and help paint a richer and more nuanced picture of the practices, experiences, and challenges of mentorship in writing for publication. An important aspect of the book is a serious attempt to explore the experiences of different stakeholders both through empirical research and personal (hi)stories and accounts.

The book acts as a valuable resource for graduate students and both novice and established scholars looking to build a more holistic understanding of mentorship in scholarly publication today, in such fields as English for research publication purposes, applied linguistics, and TESOL.
