• The mentee must work as an effective partner with the mentor. They should prepare appropriately for communications with their mentor by developing important skills, knowledge, and abilities identified by the mentor.
• The mentee has to discuss their needs and objectives with their mentor. This means that he or she has to look at their own skills and abilities to identify areas that may need work and share them with the mentor. The mentees must take responsibility for their careers and goals; although they will have the benefit of the mentor's guidance, they are responsible for their own progress.
• The mentee must be receptive to feedback from the mentor and look at the situation from the mentor's perspective. The ability to recognize the validity of a more experienced person's viewpoint is especially important in writing for publication.
• The mentee must be willing to try new approaches and to consider ways of organizing and presenting their material that differ from the concepts that were in place when they began the research.
• Periodically, each mentor and mentee should jointly assess the progress of the relationship, letting each other know when priorities need to be adjusted.
• A mentor/mentee relationship is established in relation to a specified manuscript. The mentee must understand that a mentor has no continuing commitment to the author with respect to further manuscripts. Any extension to additional studies is entirely at the discretion of the mentor.
