Mentoring support for authors
Mentoring new authors in Learning Development is an intrinsic element of our publishing process at the Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education. While we uphold rigorous academic standards, we are committed to a developmental editorial philosophy. We aim to ensure that the peer review process is a constructive learning experience; whether a manuscript is accepted or not, we strive to provide authors with meaningful feedback to support their development as writers.
For authors seeking pre-submission support, we encourage engagement with the ALDinHE Research Community of Practice (CoP). Additionally, ALDinHE facilitates a formal mentoring scheme. Authors wishing to access this scheme should email admin@aldinhe.ac.uk to be supported through the writing process.
Author promotion
When carrying out research, the intermediaries of social media need to be thought about – agents of translation, amplifiers and network builders, for example, Linkedin and TBlueSky are great examples of that. To gain traction and gain impact, we encourage you to build relationships via social media and share your research to increase impact. When sharing your published piece on social media, eg, in a talking head video, blog, social media message – please tag / email so we can reshare.
At JLDHE, we support you in promoting your work across our social media platforms to make a more significant impact and continue the conversation and exchange of ideas around your published article. Following your publication, we will contact you to help promote your writing and will create a video animation providing a short overview of your article. We will share your published piece across JLDHE’s social media platforms.
