Send fewer, better-aimed emails — and be ready for the questions that follow.
A workspace for prospective PhD applicants: find supervisors from public research records, tailor your CV in three places, check every email before you send it from your own mailbox, and keep follow-ups on time.
Public-record cards
Recent works, funding acknowledgements and formal notices from open scholarly databases — each with its source link, date and original wording. No ratings of people.
Three-slot CV variants
One base CV. Per supervisor only three things change: your one-line research interest, the order of your experience, and your top five outputs.
Pre-send checker
Every claim must trace to your own facts or a cited paper. Names, domains, attachment and pacing are checked before you can copy the email.
Follow-ups without guesswork
Paste replies into an append-only timeline; status and reminders are derived from what actually happened.
What we will never do
- Send email on your behalf — you always send from your own mailbox.
- Write theses, proposals, assignments or other assessable work.
- Give visa or migration advice.
- Rate, rank or flag academics, or host anonymous reviews.
- Promise replies, interviews or offers.
