Conflict Checker
Find Conflicts of Interest Instantly
When nominating external reviewers within promotion or tenure process, Scholarly automatically detects potential conflicts of interest by deeply search the faculty member's work.
What It Does
1
Faculty members nominate external reviewers for their promotion or tenure case.
2
Scholarly deeply searches the faculty member's activity for shared authorships, mentorships, previous positions, and more to find potential conflicts of interest not previously disclosed by faculty members.
3
No automated actions are taken, the information is merely surfaced for administrative review.
Why It Matters
Every promotion or tenure case has many reviewers. When there are multiple cases within a department or institution, manually checking for conflicts of interest becomes an incredible drain on administrators. Scholarly's conflict of interest checking does the leg work while ceding to administration for the final decision.
Responsible Innovation for Faculty Data
Keeping You In Control
Our Conflict Checker keeps you in command: surface potential conflicts of interest across reviewer pools with full transparency. Every flag is tied to its underlying inputs, so you can review, validate and decide how to proceed. No automatic actions and no data shared beyond your engagement.
Designed for Trust
Our approach prioritizes transparency, privacy, and verifiable security. We don’t use faculty data for AI model training, and data is never retained by our AI vendors. Access is role‑based and auditable; data is encrypted in transit and at rest; and our platform is SOC 2 Type II–compliant.
