VeTo+ is a novel approach that effectively deals with the problem of expert finding in academia by exploiting scholarly knowledge graphs. It expands a given set of experts with new individuals, sharing similar expertise, by identifying scholars having similar publishing habits.

Veto+ also offers a publicly available Web user interface built on top of AMiner’s DBLP Citation Network that can be useful in various applications, e.g., adding new members to a conference program committee or finding new referees to review funding proposals.
