Part of the Researcher.Life ecosystem of researcher-focused tools and solutions, R Voice is a global community platform open to everyone in academia. R Voice was introduced to empower researchers to face the challenges in academia, to be more accepting of themselves and others, to support each other along their academic journeys, and to feel valued as a member of the wider research community. We encourage researchers to have open discussions, ask questions, give advice and guidance, and share experiences with each other, as they navigate the ups and downs of academic life
