In this commentary, we discuss insights from 19 elite scholars (i.e., Fellows and top journal editors) about the advice they received—and often, did not follow—throughout their careers. We highlight some of the pitfalls from the current, all-too-common and often singular advice given to junior scholars while also adding necessary nuance to the requirements to achieve success in our field. We conclude with advice on how to give better advice, thereby more equitably encouraging a new generation of increasingly diverse researchers and future professors.enadvicesuccesscareerdiversityjournal article
