Why does research matter? Surely, without it, chaos would ensue across the globe— our governments would collapse, medical systems would deteriorate, we’d watch as tech giants crumble, and life as we know it would fall apart. Saving the environment, curing diseases, and building technology—behind each of these noble endeavors is the persevering and passionate Researcher, i.e. YOU.
With 19+ years of rich experience working with researchers to help them achieve their publication goals, we developed a better understanding of their challenges and what they need, and started exploring new avenues to support them through every stage of life. Researcher.Life, as you may have guessed, stands for the Researcher. We are unique in the sense that we are researcher-facing. Our services have been designed for the researcher and by the researcher (yes, researchers the world over have tried and tested our services/products and shared their feedback with us to help us create solutions that are truly useful and relevant). Our basic idea was to keep the researcher at the center and to offer tips, solutions, products, and services to cater to the researcher’s pain points.
The Researcher.Life ecosystem is a comprehensive collection of platforms and tools for researchers designed to address specific issues that researchers face. Speaking about the motivation behind launching a full suite of tools that help researchers, Abhishek Goel, Co-founder and CEO of Cactus Communications says, “Modern researchers have to fight to find time in the lab. Too much time is spent on writing, formatting, submitting, reviewing, discovery, planning lectures, and applying for grants—activities that take up valuable time of the very people who could be spending that time in the lab, solving real world problems. We wanted to simplify things for researchers, a need that’s more pressing now than it has ever been.”
As of today, the Researcher.Life ecosystem addresses researcher problems through different services and products.
- Premium language and publication services—including editing, translation, and end-to-end support through all stages of a researcher’s publication journey
- An AI manuscript optimizer that evaluates the submission-readiness of research manuscripts
- A personalized research recommender that helps find the most relevant literature for researchers faster and more intelligently
- Researcher-focused online courses that help researchers acquire and master critical career skills
- A global research community that allows researchers to connect with other researchers over wide-ranging topics
- An AI-powered database of COVID-19–related information, including research, insights, commentary, and expert recommendations
- A smart journal finder that helps researchers find the right target journal for their manuscript
Researcher.Life has been envisioned as an ecosystem that solves various researcher needs. Our experience of working on over 2 million research papers globally, extensively partnering with key players in the scholarly community, and investing in home-grown smart technologies has helped us leverage this experience and transform it into the most robust suite of tools and platforms for researchers across the world.
Researcher.Life aims to streamline academic processes that researchers encounter and to make their lives simpler. Whether the researcher’s focus is manuscript preparation, career advancement, or their own mental health and well-being, Researcher.Life has something to offer for every Researcher. Research is what you do, let us help with the rest.
