Abstract-The starting point for this research was an interest in how people learn and develop as adults and, more specifically, how people can help each other, either consciously or perhaps unconsciously, to develop on both a professional and personal level. Society is structured so that individuals live and work together within a framework of cooperation and the focus here is the role of this framework in vocational development. Colleagues undoubtedly have a role to play in the development of others. Some willingly offer advice, assistance or just listen where needed; others may be more reluctant to do so, perhaps afraid of revealing their own vulnerability. There is a sense that it's not so much that we live in completion with each other, but in ignorance of how we might support each other.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
