The integration
Referee Finder, where your editors already work
The workflow lives where editors already work. Prophy's Referee Finder plugs into Aries Editorial Manager, so finding the right reviewer is part of handling the manuscript — not a detour into a separate system.
- Recommendations inside EM. Reviewer suggestions appear against the manuscript in Editorial Manager, ranked by semantic similarity to the submission.
- Profiles built automatically. Prophy creates a structured reviewer profile for each candidate, so editors filter and compare without hunting across databases.
- Invitations from one place. Once a reviewer is selected, automated invitations go out directly from EM, with no disruption to the workflow your team already follows.

A wider, conflict-checked pool than your in-house database
The two reasons editorial teams add Prophy to Editorial Manager.
For editorial departments that need high-quality peer reviewers quickly, Prophy provides access to a larger, well-organized pool of expert reviewers — including emerging and early-career researchers your reviewer database hasn't reached yet.
Co-authorship and co-affiliation conflicts are detected as reviewers are selected, so the integrity check happens in-house and inline — not after the invitation has gone out.
The full view
The full Referee Finder view, one click away
Next to any suggested reviewer in Editorial Manager, View Researcher Profile and Publication opens Referee Finder itself. That opens the complete candidate list for the manuscript, with everything an editor needs to refine it.
- Conflict checks you can see. Co-authorship and shared affiliations are flagged against the manuscript's authors (the last five years by default, adjustable), and so are retracted articles.
- Filters editors use. h-index, academic age, article count, journal impact factor, countries, and concept groups you can boost or ignore.
- Your own reviewer pool. Upload your reviewer database as an author group to search within it or highlight its members, and save the settings you reuse.
Change gender, location, experience level, and broadness of expertise of proposed referees.
Built on years of editor-workflow integrations
Prophy already connects to the systems editors run. Alongside Aries Editorial Manager, the Referee Finder integrates with ScholarOne Manuscripts and eJournalPress — part of a standing commitment to bring peer-review tooling to the editor's workflow rather than asking editors to come to it.

Questions editors ask
Does Prophy work with our Editorial Manager configuration?
Yes. The Referee Finder integration surfaces recommendations and sends invitations inside standard Editorial Manager workflows; we confirm the specifics for your setup during onboarding.
How is manuscript data handled, and do you train on it?
Your data belongs to you, and you can delete it at any time or set up lifecycle rules. We also don't train any models on your data.
What do editors have to learn?
Little. Suggestions appear against the manuscript in EM and invitations send from EM, so editors keep working the way they already do.
Do you integrate with anything besides Editorial Manager?
Yes. ScholarOne Manuscripts and eJournalPress, and we have an API with detailed documentation, if you want to integrate with an in-house EMS.
How defensible is the conflict-of-interest output?
Every reviewer choice carries the co-authorship / co-affiliation basis behind the flag, so the integrity check is auditable rather than a black box.
How is this different from our current reviewer database?
Prophy reaches a larger, continuously maintained pool, including recently active and early-career experts that a static in-house database misses.
