Call for Proposals

Manuscripts for the 2025 Winter Quarterly Themed Journal of The Chronicle of Mentoring & Coaching are now being solicited. The Winter 2025 issue will present articles based on authors’ ongoing research, project development, and programs related to the theme “The Art and Science of Mentoring.” You are invited because your previous work, as a paper and presentation at The Mentoring Institute, UNM, were deemed to be contributions to the literature. The target date of publication for this peer-reviewed, themed journal is 15 March 2025. A revised schedule of dates leading up to publication are listed in a section below.

Authors are invited to submit a full article of approximately 5000-6000 words based on their previous successfully presented research, projects, models, interventions, and programs related to the art and science of mentoring. As a previous presenter, each invitee belongs to a community of scholars and practitioners who actively work to retain, engage, develop, and empower leaders. We believe that this commitment to the mentoring community will be further demonstrated by each contributor’s review of one to two articles submitted by fellow authors. This will ensure that each manuscript will undergo a double-blind review, which is valued in professional and academic communities. As previous presenters, authors have an account with The Mentoring Institute and will be able to access the portal to submit and retrieve papers.

If you would like to contribute your article with your previous or new or additional colleagues, to the Winter Quarterly CMC Journal Issue, please send an “intention to submit” via email from the lead editor, to Mary Barbara Trube, at btrube@unm.edu by the date of January 15, 2024. Although the intention to submit is informal, it should be written as a single-spaced Word document that includes the author’s(s’) name(s) and affiliation(s), email address(es), a telephone contact number for the lead author, a working title for the manuscript you intend to submit, and a brief biography of approximately 150 words for each author.

A link for submitting the full article will be sent via email from The Mentoring Institute on or before February 1, 2025, along with the steps to submit the full manuscript. The full manuscript must be void of any identifiers for the peer review process! These full, draft manuscripts include the abstract, paper, and references, following the APA 7 style guide. Peer reviews will begin on February 4, 2025, and conclude on February 15, 2025. Authors will be able to retrieve their feedback as soon it is provided by the reviewers and do not need to wait until the final date to retrieve the drafts. The final manuscript should be submitted as ready for publication and include the title, authors names and affiliations, 250–300-word abstract, 3-5 key words, and any acknowledgements appropriate for the paper. The paper has an introduction, literature review, study methodology/project/ program/model, outcomes or findings, conclusion and 12-20 current references or seminal work. Tables, charts, and figures should be kept to portrait formatting with 1” margins and labels.

Below is the current revised schedule based on the Mentoring Institute’s  web designer’s schedule:

Thank you for your consideration!
