Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the changes that have occurred in the modalities, approaches, methods and, in general, the process of communication with students at higher levels of study, and under the influence of online technologies that were the only available (and secure) communication channel between teachers/mentors and students/candidates. Understanding the educational process through the prism of the communication process, the article considers the impact of technology on this process, from two angles: from the angle of the mentor/teacher and the candidate/student. In the absence of formal literature and research on this new model of work (established in the past year), the authors rely on personal experience and the conclusions they have drawn from it. The authors believe that the changes that occurred forcibly, suddenly and unplanned in the process of work between mentors/teachers and candidates students in master's and doctoral studies are irreversible, ie permanent, and that they can (and should) be complementary to "classical" methods of work on scientific papers in regular situations (not only in crises, such as the one with COVID-19). Also, the authors advocate the thesis that, precisely because of the specifics of collaborative work on scientific works (master's and doctoral theses), the change that occurred under the influence of online technologies is more easily acceptable and applicable.
