Finding reviewers

We support you in finding reviewers by using an intelligent, AI-powered search to make sure you find the right people. 

Reviewer Finder has access to over 6 million researcher profiles, including the last 5 years of reviewer data from previous systems. It also runs automatic conflict of interest checks and provides information on these.

You can:

  • select the timeline within which you would like reviewers to return their reports. You can choose a deadline of 1 to 100 days. The reviewer will be reminded to submit their report at the midway point and 2 days before the deadline.
  • track whether they have accepted the invitation on the submission overview provided in the 'Tasks' and 'Submissions' dashboards.

We send automated reminders to reviewers, both to accept invitations and to complete their reviews.

Please note that Snapp is continuously evolving to respond to researcher needs, and videos will be updated to reflect recent updates.
