AI Article Synopsis
- The paper explores the often-overlooked advisor-advisee relationships in scientific collaboration, specifically in the field of Exact and Earth Sciences in Brazil.
- Researchers analyzed data from the Lattes Platform to investigate individual academic profiles and their coauthoring patterns.
- Findings suggest a positive correlation between the length of the advisor-advisee relationship and the advisee's publication productivity, but also indicate a gradual decline in coauthoring over time, signaling a decreasing dependency.
Article Abstract
Scientific collaboration has been studied by researchers for decades. Several approaches have been adopted to address the question of how collaboration has evolved in terms of publication output, numbers of coauthors, and multidisciplinary trends. One particular type of collaboration that has received very little attention concerns advisor and advisee relationships. In this paper, we examine this relationship for the researchers who are involved in the area of Exact and Earth Sciences in Brazil and its eight subareas. These pairs are registered in the Lattes Platform that manages the individual curricula vitae of Brazilian researchers. The individual features of these academic researchers and their coauthoring relationships were investigated. We have found evidence that there exists positive correlation between time of advisor-advisee relationship with the advisee's productivity. Additionally, there has been a gradual decline in advisor-advisee coauthoring over a number of years as measured by the Kulczynski index, which could be interpreted as decline of the dependence.

Problem: There is a need within graduate health professions education (HPE) programs to align advising practices to support an increasing number of working adult learners, especially those studying part-time and from remote locations. Despite the recognized importance of the advisor-advisee relationship in graduate learner success, many advisors lack formal training and have to manage multiple completing priorities. Furthermore, a lack of established evidence-based practices for graduate HPE advising has left each program navigating advising independently.

The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education Standards require schools and colleges of pharmacy to provide the needed resources for student success, including student advising. The faculty advisor's role in schools and colleges of pharmacy can be varied and may include modeling professional behavior, serving as students' advocate, and providing academic and professional guidance. This is especially important upon students entering pharmacy school when the risk of being overwhelmed has been documented.

Introduction: Given the rapidly changing landscape of residency applications, many medical students struggle to identify guidance from faculty advisors. Additionally, faculty advisors may find it difficult to maintain up-to-date knowledge on changes such as the new supplemental application. These gaps could potentially lead to inequitable advising.

Introduction: Despite efforts to increase the participation of marginalized students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), neurodivergent students have remained underrepresented and underserved in STEM graduate programs. This qualitative study aims to increase understanding of the experiences of neurodivergent graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in STEM. In this analysis, we consider how common graduate school experiences interface with the invisibility of neurological diversity, thus contributing to a set of unique challenges experienced by neurodivergent students.
