  PR Scout helps journal editors find qualified peer reviewers for research manuscripts. Enter the study's design, population, exposure, outcomes, and list of references (optional) and PR Scout uses AI to identify researchers with relevant expertise, then verifies each suggested reviewer against PubMed to confirm they have authored real, topic-relevant publications.
  
  What's New in Version 1.2.0
  
  Redesigned Study Design field: replaced free-text input with a dropdown menu organized by category (Interventional, Observational, Review/Synthesis, Other) with an "Other" free-text option for unlisted study designs
  Redesigned Study Population field: replaced free-text input with checkboxes for standard age groups aligned with PubMed/MeSH categories (Neonates/Infants, Children, Adolescents, Adults, Older Adults) plus a "with [condition]" text field for specifying the clinical condition, and an "Other" option for non-standard populations
  Removed the optional References field
