PubGrade helps society & publisher teams understand and engage the researchers behind their field.
Find prospective authors, reviewers, editorial-board members, speakers, members, journal subscribers, webinar attendees, industry researchers, sponsors, advertisers, institutions, and emerging communities based on real scientific activity. Inspect why each person matches, organize them into reusable segments, and activate selected audiences through email, LinkedIn, CRM workflows, and contextual advertising.
Your journal, meeting and audience teams often research the same scientific community in separate systems. PubGrade gives them a shared evidence base while allowing each team to build the people and organization lists relevant to its work.
Find authors for Calls for Papers, special issues, and journal launches. Build evidence-backed reviewer, guest editor, and editorial-board candidate pools. Compare candidates using a contextual h-index calculated only from publications matching your search. Explore emerging topics and research communities or geographic momentum to inform journal and portfolio development.
Identify relevant speakers, presenters, poster authors, webinar guests, and scientific-program candidates. Explore the people, institutions, and topics represented at a meeting—and find researchers who could contribute to future events and educational programs.
Build targeted audiences for journal promotion, subscription and readership growth, newsletters, webinars, and membership development. Segment researchers by scientific interests, institution, geography, industry involvement, and other relevant evidence.
Find companies, industry researchers, institutions, and scientific fields active in your community. Build evidence-backed prospect lists for journal advertising, meeting sponsorships, sponsored webinars, educational partnerships, and other commercial programs.

Who should we invite to submit?
Find current and prospective authors working within a journal’s scope, including researchers from active but underrepresented institutions and regions.
Output: An evidence-backed author table that can be tagged and exported.
Who could review, edit or advise?
Find researchers based on topic fit, application & method fit, recent activity, affiliation, geography and publication relationships.
Output: A candidate pool for further editorial suitability and conflict checks.
Who should speak or participate?
Find researchers presenting or publishing around a meeting topic and explore potential speakers, poster authors, webinar guests or participants.
Output: A people table with presentations, affiliations and supporting scientific activity.
Where is the field growing?
Analyze which topics, institutions, countries and research communities are becoming more active in your field of interest.
Output: Topic, organization and people views that support journal, meeting and program planning.
Run separate searches around the same scientific topic. Each question creates its own structured people table, allowing journal, meeting and audience teams to work with results relevant to their goals.
Use the resulting table to: prepare meeting lists, identify presenters for follow-up and explore potential authors, reviewers or webinar guests.
Use the resulting table to: re-engage authors, support Calls for Papers and explore reviewer or editorial candidates.
Use the resulting table to: discover prospective authors, speakers, industry researchers and active institutions outside the existing journal audience.
Traditional citation databases are designed primarily for discovery, bibliometrics, and research evaluation. Generic AI can provide an answer, but it rarely provides a transparent audience your team can verify, organize, monitor, and reuse.
Citation databases help measure research. PubGrade helps your teams find, understand, organize, and engage the people behind it.
Whether you need access for a focused team or across multiple departments, you do not need a large institutional database contract to get started. PubGrade offers flexible annual licensing based on your organization’s needs and workflows.
Tell us about your organization and goals, and we’ll recommend a suitable package.
Tell us about an upcoming Call for Papers, annual meeting, reviewer need, membership challenge, emerging topic, journal strategy, or target research community.
We’ll show you how to turn it into an evidence-backed audience and a workflow your teams can refine, monitor, and activate.

Citation databases are valuable for finding literature, analyzing citations, benchmarking research, and evaluating research performance.
PubGrade is built for the operational next step: turning a precise scientific question into structured lists of relevant people and organizations. Teams can inspect the evidence behind each result, refine the search logic, tag records, save searches, set alerts, and export selected results for journal, meeting, audience, and outreach workflows.
PubGrade dynamically calculates a contextual h-index using only the publications matching your current search.
Unlike a fixed, career-wide h-index, it helps you understand an author’s influence within the specific topic or research context you are exploring—without unrelated fields distorting the result.
If your society’s journals or conferences are already indexed by PubGrade, you can analyze the associated authors, presenters, institutions, topics, and scientific activity directly.
For proprietary member, subscriber, or participant data, contact us to discuss your requirements. Depending on the use case, PubGrade can help enrich your records for use in your CRM or internal systems, or explore how your audiences could be matched and represented in Research Analytics.
PubGrade focuses on the life sciences and related scientific fields. Research Analytics connects more than 50 million documents from multiple sources, including publications, preprints, conference presentations, grants, clinical trials, and patents, with associated people and organizations.
Coverage varies by journal, conference, field, and source. Explore Coverage & Data Sources for details, or contact us about a specific journal, meeting, society, or research area. If important content is not yet covered, we can also assess whether a specific conference or new data source can be added.
Yes. Teams can tag people, organizations, and documents by topic fit, journal or meeting relevance, geography, organization type, etc.
Searches can be saved and replicated, alerts can monitor new activity, and selected results can support:
