Working in academia is challenging, even more so for those with limited resources and opportunities. Researchers around the world do not have equal working conditions. The paper presents the structure, operation method, and conceptual framework of the SM3D Portal's community coaching method, which is built to help Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and researchers in low-resource settings overcome the obstacle of inequality and start their career progress. The community coaching method is envisioned by three science philosophies (cost-effectiveness, transparency spirit, and proactive attitude) and established and operated based on the Serendipity-Mindsponge-3D knowledge (SM3D) management framework (i.e., mindsponge thinking and Bayesian Mindsponge Framework analytics serve as the coaching program's foundational theory and analytical tools). The coaching method also embraces Open Science's values for lowering the cost of doing science and encouraging the trainees to be transparent, which is expected to facilitate the self-correcting mechanism of science through open data, open review, and open dialogue. Throughout the training process, members are central beneficiaries by gaining research knowledge and skills, acquiring publication as the training's product, and shifting their mindsets from "I can't do it" to "I can do it," and at the same time transforming a mentee to be ready for a future mentor's role. The coaching method is thus one of the members, for the member, by the members.•The paper provides the structure, operation method, and conceptual framework of the SM3D Portal's community coaching method, which is built to help Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and researchers in low-resource settings overcome the obstacle of inequality and start their career progress.•The paper presents three major science philosophies envisioning the establishment and operation of scholarly community coaching.•The paper employs the mindsponge theory and BMF analytics to construct a conceptual framework explaining how an environment is created to help shift members' mindsets from "I can't do it" to "I can do it."
在学术界工作颇具挑战性，对于那些资源和机会有限的人来说更是如此。世界各地的研究人员工作条件并不平等。本文介绍了SM3D门户社区指导方法的结构、操作方法和概念框架，该方法旨在帮助早期职业研究人员（ECR）和资源匮乏环境中的研究人员克服不平等障碍，开启职业发展进程。社区指导方法由三种科学理念（成本效益、透明精神和积极态度）构想而成，并基于偶然发现-思维海绵-3D知识（SM3D）管理框架建立和运行（即思维海绵思维和贝叶斯思维海绵框架分析作为指导计划的基础理论和分析工具）。该指导方法还秉持开放科学的价值观，以降低科研成本并鼓励学员保持透明，有望通过开放数据、开放评审和开放对话促进科学的自我纠错机制。在整个培训过程中，成员是主要受益者，他们获得研究知识和技能，将发表成果作为培训的产物，将思维模式从“我做不到”转变为“我能做到”，同时将学员转变为未来能够担任导师角色的人。因此，指导方法是成员主导、为了成员、由成员参与的方法。
