Introducing Researcher Profiles

Today we are happy to announce the launch of researcher profiles to help users better understand research articles and how they have been cited in the literature and to better identify relevant researchers and understand their publication records.

Users can now see 263,001,928 different researcher profiles on scite connected to 92,614,734 papers, 9,528 funding sources, and 26,759 affiliated organizations with this launch. This means that you can now easily see how an article and a researcher have been cited, allowing you to identify potential collaborators, leaders in the field, emerging leaders, reviewers, and more.

To highlight the utility of this new feature, let’s look at how you can find established leaders or emerging leaders in Parkinson’s disease research using our search. Searching for the term “Parkinson’s Disease” returns 114,003 results and identifies which authors have the most papers in the area.

This list might be useful but say we want to identify researchers in this space with highly supported work. Using our citation filter on the left, we can limit the results to papers with at least 5 supporting citations, which narrows the list down to 9,138 publications and surfacing a different list of authors, arguably some of the most influential authors in the field. Narrowing such a list down to recent authors from 2015 onwards would further constrain this.
