How it works

Simple, safe, and built for the academic community.

STEP 01

Verify your affiliation

Confirm your academic identity via institutional email, ORCID, or academic profile. Your identity is never linked to your review.

STEP 02

Find or request a PI

Search universities across the US, Canada, and Europe. If your PI isn't listed, request their profile in seconds.

STEP 03

Leave an honest review

Rate mentorship, work-life balance, publication ethics, funding stability, and international student support.

STEP 04

Protect the next researcher

Your review becomes part of a permanent, searchable record. The next PhD applicant will find what you wish you had found.

"Prof. Comín is one of those rare supervisors — a humanist who invests in the person, not just the research. He always asked how you were doing before asking how the research was going. I came into this PhD with a research idea and a lot of uncertainty. I left as a scientist. That transformation belongs in large part to him."
