👋 Hey Product Hunt, The problem we kept running into: academic networking platforms are either general-purpose (LinkedIn, ResearchGate) or built around documents, not people. None of them actually answer "who should I be working with right now?" So we built Know Your Faculty around one core idea — match professors by real research fit, not job titles or mutual connections. You build a profile, sync your ORCID for verified publication data, and see a live Collab Score for every professor you view — a percentage match based on shared research interests and what you're both looking for (co-author, grant partner, guest lecturer). A connection only opens once it's mutual, so nobody's inbox fills up with outreach they didn't ask for. Along the way we also built two free, standalone tools we kept needing ourselves — no signup required for either: H-Index Calculator — paste your citation counts, get your h-index and i10-index instantly Journal Rankings — search all 2,649 journals in the ABDC Journal Quality List 2025, with SJR/Scopus quartile data Early access is live on Android now, iOS coming soon. Would genuinely love feedback from anyone in or adjacent to academia — what's missing, what's confusing, what would make this actually useful for you.

Launching on Product Hunt Sep 29 — AMA about Know Your Faculty

Hey everyone I'm the founder of Know Your Faculty, launching on Product Hunt this coming Tuesday (Sep 29).

Quick context: KYF is a collaboration platform for professors and researchers instead of matching by job title or mutual connections (like LinkedIn) or organizing around documents (like ResearchGate), it matches people by real research fit using a live Collab Score, with ORCID-verified publication data behind every profile.

It's currently in early access on Android, with iOS coming soon. Alongside the main platform, we also built two free tools anyone can use right now, no signup needed:

H-Index Calculator
ABDC Journal Rankings search (2,649 journals, A*/A/B/C ratings, SJR/Scopus quartile)
