We’ve all been there: An editor scouring for reliable peer reviewers, a funder searching for researchers to apply to your RFP, a scientist eager to collaborate, an industry team trying to reach academics, or even a student looking to organize a panel for a symposium. You need to find experts who actually work on your problem.

So you start the familiar ritual: Google Scholar rabbit holes at 2am, scanning endless author lists, cold-emailing colleagues asking “do you know anyone who works on X?”, and hoping your network comes through.

ScientistFinder helps expedite this process by tailoring discovery of scientific experts (with contact information when available).

TBH I don't really understand what the website does but I put in topics that I Am interested in (geophysics, ai/ml, social science) and it just stopped the update bar at some point and never delivered any results.
