The reason I ask is that when people reference a study, I look at who is funding it and who those people are affiliated with. Looking at what other studies they have peer reviewed can be useful to see if the study results have external pressures that may influence outcome. HN folks often provide references but references alone are not sufficient in my opinion. Being able to see the reverse heat map of what projects someone has reviewed can paint a better picture of their area of expertise and who may be influencing them.

Ah ya that makes total sense.

I will see what we can do to make that more obvious and linked to our paper reports thanks for the suggestion.
