When clicking "Search with Prophy", Nestor will send the manuscript to Prophy who:

  • performs a concept analysis on the manuscript
  • based on this analysis, will return a list of 50 referees to evaluate the paper



Analysing the list of suggestions

The list shows the first 5 referees. It is sorted by score, which represents the match between the manuscript's concepts and the referee's own papers. The higher the score, the higher the relevance of the manuscript to assess this paper.

From this interface, you can:

  • click on each referee score to get more details on the referee
  • invite the referee directly
  • can click on (+) to expand the list of suggestions
