Could this data be used to create heat-maps of who is funding what research and who is peer reviewing what projects and project categories?

Hey there, I work at scite and yes it defenitly can.

In general we have "who is funding what research" data here (https://scite.ai/institutions).

We don't really have a freindly way for you to produce a heatmap readily from that so feel free to DM me or email us if you want something like that.

For "who is peer reviewing what projects and project categories" that is super interesting.... with open peer review these days that is probably doable.

The reason I ask is that when people reference a study, I look at who is funding it and who those people are affiliated with. Looking at what other studies they have peer reviewed can be useful to see if the study results have external pressures that may influence outcome. HN folks often provide references but references alone are not sufficient in my opinion. Being able to see the reverse heat map of what projects someone has reviewed can paint a better picture of their area of expertise and who may be influencing them.

Ah ya that makes total sense.

I will see what we can do to make that more obvious and linked to our paper reports thanks for the suggestion.
