01 START
What do you want to check?
◉
Entity Check
Check if a person or organization is named on any public lists indicating research security risk
◎
Coauthor Check
Parse a person's publication record (from Scopus or OpenAlex) and check it against lists indicating research security risk
◑
NSF COA Audit
Compare a person's publication record (from Scopus or OpenAlex) against Table 4 of their NSF Collaborators & Other Affiliations form
02 INPUT
Input check data
Screen several at once by separating them with semicolons — e.g. Southwest University; South China Agricultural University; Southwestern University of Finance and Economics. Each is checked and reported separately.
If screening a person, enter their primary affiliation. If screening an organization, you can leave this blank. Semicolons separate multiple affiliations here too.
How to obtain publication data — either source works; the format is detected automatically.
Option A — Scopus (.csv):
Option A — Scopus (.csv):
- Locate your person in Scopus
- Click the Documents tab
- Click Export all
- Select CSV for export file type
- Select Author(s), Document title, Year, Affiliations, Sponsor, and Funding text
- Click Export
- Get the researcher's ORCID iD (e.g.
0000-0003-0790-5905) - In OpenAlex, filter works by that ORCID iD
- Export the results as plaintext
Which to use: prefer OpenAlex when the researcher curates their ORCID record but their Scopus profile is incomplete or conflated with another author. Caveat: OpenAlex plaintext exports carry no funding data, so funding sources will not be screened — use Scopus when funder screening matters.

What this audit does: it reads every co-author from the researcher's publication record, keeps those with a publication in the audit window, and checks each one against Table 4 of their NSF COA form. Names are compared allowing for initials, shortened given names, and spelling variants. Upload both files below.
The publication record can be a Scopus .csv export or an OpenAlex .txt plaintext export (works filtered by the researcher's ORCID iD) — the format is detected automatically. Prefer OpenAlex when the researcher curates their ORCID record but their Scopus profile is incomplete or conflated with another author; the generated email will then reference and link their ORCID-based OpenAlex results instead of Scopus.

Only have a screenshot of Table 4? Paste the rows instead ▸
One co-author per line, columns separated by a TAB (most reliable) or at least two real spaces — not just visual alignment, which can shrink to one space for a long name:
code Last, First Organizational Affiliation. The code is the single letter from the leftmost column (usually "A") — leave it off and it defaults to A. Ask a Claude chat that has read the screenshot to transcribe it in this format, with a literal tab between columns; then check the preview below before running the audit.Excluded from the audit — a researcher is not their own co-author.
NSF asks for the last 48 months. Scopus and OpenAlex exports both carry only a year, so this floor is used instead and is deliberately slightly wider than 48 months.
