Each feature answers a real problem researchers face. Everything on CollabCite exists to help you produce research together and build academic credibility.
Find collaborators
Collaboration calls
A single board of live “looking for co-authors” posts. Post a research idea with the skills you need, such as “empirical analyst for a paper on data protection”, or apply to someone else’s call. Filter by field, deadline and paper type.
Interest groups
Topic-based groups, such as AI governance, constitutional law or climate finance, where members share ideas and form teams.
Member directory
Search by field, method, institution, location and category, so a lawyer can find an economist or a data scientist for a joint paper.
Co-author suggestions Coming soon
Your dashboard will suggest researchers whose interests, methods and field match yours, with a weekly email of matching calls.
Work together
Authorship agreements
A simple form where the team records who contributes what and the author order before work begins, preventing disputes later.
Private project rooms Coming soon
A shared space for each research team with discussions, files and milestones, plus a contribution log for authorship decisions and CRediT statements.
Messages with consent
Private messages, only between members who have accepted contact.
Peer feedback and mentorship Coming soon
Members review each other’s drafts before submission, and experienced researchers guide early-career members and PhD scholars.
Curated opportunities and resources
Opportunities by email
Our team posts calls for papers, book reviews, edited book chapters and similar openings on the website, and emails each one to members.
Free resources
Articles on finding good journals indexed in Scopus or Web of Science, spotting predatory journals, and research writing.
Partner journals
A small, growing list of zero-fee journals that partner with CollabCite by mutual interest. They may post calls from time to time, but they are not the platform’s main offer.
Journal reports
Members report bad journals, our team reviews each report manually, and removed partner journals are listed publicly.
