Prophy Referee Finder is an AI-powered tool designed to streamline the peer review process by identifying suitable referees for scientific manuscripts and grant proposals. Leveraging a database of over 160 million articles, the tool creates profiles for scientists and ranks them based on semantic similarity to the submitted work. It also detects potential conflicts of interest by analyzing co-authorship and institutional affiliations.
