How it works

Reviewer Finder uses term extraction and matching technology to identify the best candidates. Crucially, it then supports the whole reviewer workflow – from managing applications to building committees and contacting reviewers.

• Using the title and abstract of a manuscript, publication, or grant, it identifies key concepts and matches them to researchers with relevant expertise, based on their publications and grants in Dimensions. You can customize these concepts, adding or deleting anything you want.
• After fine-tuning the results like this, you can use Dimensions filters to focus them further.
• The results list provides tools to help you evaluate the suggested matches. Dimensions identifies any obvious conflicts of interest, based on co-authorship and institutional affiliations; it also highlights relevant papers and grants to show why a person has been selected and their publication date range (which could indicate their career stage).

In addition, the Clustering feature allows you to organize workspaces with a large number of applications, cluster similar grants together and auto-assign reviewers from a pre-selected pool. You can also use the efficient Committee Builder feature to save a group of potential candidates, keep notes and track their progress.
