Looking to help novice scientific writers improve their skills and enhance the likelihood of scientific publication, the launched a writing mentorship program. Research indicates that when novice writers have a mentor and work on writing as a team, the authors can gain self-efficacy, manuscripts are improved, thoughts and writing are clarified, and differing perspectives are added. This editorial identifies the process for being recommended to use a writing mentor, discusses recommendations in the forming of a mentor/mentee relationship, describes the qualities of good mentors and mentees, and offers suggestions for improving writing for scientific publication. As our database of writing mentors grows, we encourage those who join this program both as mentors and as mentees to consider what it means to be in these roles. It is my hope that the suggestions herein help in developing these relationships.
为帮助新手科学作家提高写作技能并增加科学论文发表的可能性，[机构名称]推出了一个写作指导计划。研究表明，当新手作家有一位导师并以团队形式进行写作时，作者可以获得自我效能感，稿件质量会提高，思路和写作会更加清晰，还能增加不同的观点。这篇社论确定了被推荐使用写作指导的流程，讨论了建立导师/学员关系时的建议，描述了优秀导师和学员的品质，并为提高科学论文发表的写作水平提供了建议。随着我们写作导师数据库的不断扩大，我们鼓励那些作为导师和学员加入该计划的人思考担任这些角色意味着什么。我希望本文中的建议有助于发展这些关系。
