The document discusses the Examiner prototype developed at the University of Bristol, aimed at enhancing the visibility of the university's research within various communities. It highlights the Subsift application, which facilitates academic peer review by matching submitted papers with potential reviewers based on relevant research. The ongoing work includes improving the user interface and expanding functionality to scale across institutions.
