The correct evaluation of research proposals continues today to be problematic, and in many cases, grants and fellowships are subjected to this type of assessment. A web based semi-automatic tool to help in the selection of reviewers was developed. The core of the proposed system is the matching of the MeSH Descriptors of the publications submitted by the reviewers (for their accreditation) and the Descriptor linked to the research keywords, which were selected. Moreover, a citation related index was further calculated and adopted in order to discard not suitable reviewers. This tool was used as a support in a web site for the evaluation of candidates applying for a fellowship in the oncology field.
如今，对研究提案进行正确评估仍然存在问题，在许多情况下，资助和奖学金都要接受此类评估。开发了一种基于网络的半自动工具来协助选择评审人员。该系统的核心是将评审人员提交的出版物（用于其资质认证）的医学主题词表（MeSH）描述符与所选研究关键词链接的描述符进行匹配。此外，还进一步计算并采用了与引用相关的指标，以剔除不合适的评审人员。该工具被用作一个网站的辅助工具，用于评估申请肿瘤学领域奖学金的候选人。
