R Voice turns 1 this month! Let’s celebrate it together
I can’t believe it’s been a year since we launched the R Voice community platform! I’m going to say it again just to let it sink in – R Voice completes one year this month. 😍😍
Happy birthday to all of us!
It seems like yesterday that we launched R Voice as a community forum for researchers all over the world. What began in April 2021 as a small group with a handful of researchers is now slowly taking shape as a vibrant, helpful, supportive, and thriving community of over 1,400 members. We (@chris leonard, @Andrea Hayward, @Kakoli Majumder, and I) are grateful for the amazing people and conversations on this community.
Over the past year, so many of you have taken the time to share your experiences, expertise, aspirations, successes, questions, encouragement, thoughts, feelings, and emotions with fellow R Voice community members. From conversations about academic publication or careers to mental health or personal experiences, from webinars and learning events to casual catch ups – each of you has been part of every thread on the fabric that is R Voice. For this, we can’t thank you enough. ❣️ Your interactions have made R Voice an open, welcoming, and safe space for researchers. You have truly made R Voice ouR Voice.
As part of the R Voice birthday celebrations, we have an exciting series of conversations and events lined up over the coming weeks. Stay tuned for little known trivia about R Voice, a short walk down the memory lane, new discussions, and events you simply can’t miss.
P.S. If you’re new to R Voice and are curious to know more about how we started, take a look at the R Voice story and R Voice vision.

I can still remember how I accidentally discovered R Voice while strolling through many web pages searching for paper support and one of the Editage webpages draw me to this amazing platform. When I registered to it without a proper or targeted invention, I constantly received email updates on various posts shared by community members,☺️ and among them was @Andrea Hayward wh was often sharing motivational posts arousing my curiosity on "what sort of platform is this? and let me figure it out by myself"😜 If it was not for here frequently shared posts on fueling up conversations and pumping up positivity I might have left the platform and would love to offer her bouquet of virtual flowers for indirectly insisting me stay on this platform and witness the incredible it's having on us 💐❤️
Kudos to @Jayashree Rajagopalan @chris leonard @Kakoli Majumder as well as Rajyashree whose posts were so impactful the moment I start approaching this community. Best wishes for many more years ahead!💝

@Isurika Sevwandi I cannot be more thankful for that co-incidence! ❣️ It's heartening (I need a superlative adjective for "heartening" but I can't think of one right now) to hear that R Voice has had an impact on your life. You have had a deep impact on this community since it was launched. Thanks to your inputs, we've had so many interesting and unforgettable conversations here. Keep coming back! You're one of the most positive people I've ever met (although I do hope we get to meet in person at least once. 🤞

THANK YOU @Vivien Kretz for making R Voice vibrant and positive. I love your take on the often undiscussed aspects of life, especially in academia, and always wait to hear what you have to say 🙌 Here's to more conversations on this platform and on all those Zoom calls we have (and to the hope that we get to meet in person one day and say hey and talk about the humanities and literature).
