CollabFinder
Find complementary collaborators — researchers with different expertise who can strengthen your work.
Quick add:
Find Your Perfect Collaborator
Unlike simple search, CollabFinder matches your expertise with researchers who have complementary skills — not just similar ones.
Why Use This Tool
Stop looking for researchers who do what you already do. CollabFinder identifies researchers with complementary expertise — people who fill the gaps in your skill set for stronger interdisciplinary collaboration.
CHISHIKO Edge
Why not just use OpenAlex?
- • OpenAlex finds researchers with similar expertise
- • CollabFinder finds researchers with complementary expertise
- • We explain why each researcher would make a good collaborator
- • Results ranked by collaboration potential, not just citations
- • Curated field-relationship mappings (ML → Biology, Stats → Clinical, etc.)
How We Use AI
CollabFinder uses curated field-complementarity mappings combined with OpenAlex data (90M+ researchers). We identify researchers with different but synergistic expertise, not just keyword matches. Collaboration scores are algorithmic estimates based on field relationships.
