Text mining
Expert Lookup uses Elsevier Fingerprint Engine to apply a variety of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to mine the text of scientific documents, including publication abstracts, funding announcements and awards, project summaries, patents, proposals, applications and other sources
This text mining leads to precise matches between incoming proposals and potential, unbiased reviewers.
Awards history
In addition to text mining, Expert Lookup uses award history to help determine if a given researcher is suitable to apply for a grant or to review a proposal.
Uses Scopus data
Expert Lookup uses Scopus, which contains over 17 million author profiles across disciplines. The author profile connects an author to their publications, awards and more. See Scopus Data for more information.
