Profile

I am a “meta-researcher” specializing in quantitative studies of science, research evaluation, sociology of science, research integrity and statistics. I do “research on research”, study its practices, norms, methods, reporting, reproducibility, evaluation, and incentives.  The objective is to understand and improve how we perform, communicate, verify, evaluate, and reward research. I have a long standing interest in the ritualistic use of 'null hypothesis significance testing' - the main culprit behind decades of pathological knowledge production in the soft sciences! 

My specific research interests are focused on:

• journals and their role in the scientific communication network
• measuring interdisciplinarity
• publication behaviour
• scientometric indicators
• perceptions of research quality
• performance-based national research funding systems
• relations between funding and performance
• gender issues in research performance
• relations between science policy and citation impact
• quantifying uncertainty in scientometric indicators
• problems related to statistical significance tests and statistical models
• reforms of statistical practice
• Bayesian statistics
• research integrity
• questionable research practices, their prevalence and causes
