Ph.D. in Social Communication. My research interests: Bibliometrics, Scientometrics, Scholarly Communication, and Library Science.

In China 🇨🇳, policies rewarding first and corresponding authorship were associated with a sharp rise in co-first and co-corresponding authors. Not larger teams – just more people receiving lead-author credit. doi.org/10.1016/j.jo... #scientometrics #ResearchEvaluation #authorship #ResearchPolicy

Most university rankings obsess over Harvard and Oxford, but tell us little about the overall health of national higher education systems. A new paper proposes ranking systems rather than universities. doi.org/10.1016/j.jo... #HigherEducation #UniversityRankings #Scientometrics #ResearchEvaluation

Bad papers, incorrect references, and superficial reviews existed long before #ChatGPT. AI did not invent poor scholarship – it simply made it scalable. In our new paper, we argue that the debate should move beyond #AI slop toward the broader concept of academic slop doi.org/10.1080/1087... #GenAI

Presented my research today at the #VUIAS. The main takeaway: research misconduct is not only about dishonest individuals. It is also about the environments, incentives, and cultures that make questionable practices normal, tolerated, or difficult to resist. doi.org/10.13140/RG....

Science is often presented as something distant. Something that starts after a PhD, funding, or the "right" connections. But it doesn’t. I’ve put together a short presentation on how research actually begins – with a simple moment: "I don’t understand this." doi.org/10.13140/RG.... #OpenScience

Presented my workshop "Ranked but Not Heard: Metrics and the Position of Ukrainian Scholarship" at the #VUIAS / CEU IAS workshop “Situated Knowledge” in Vienna 🇦🇹 doi.org/10.13140/RG.... #OpenScience #Scientometrics #ResearchEvaluation #Ukraine

Russian #propaganda does not create prejudice - it activates prejudice that already exists. Don't let fear, #stereotypes, and #disinformation shape your view of refugees, migrants, or entire nations. Freedom from propaganda begins with freedom from stereotypes. doi.org/10.5210/fm.v...

A new study analysing 248 #CoARA action plans suggests that many organizations still treat #OpenScience more as a set of values than as concrete practices. #OpenAccess appearing in 41% of plans, key #UNESCO promoted practices such as Open Methods are barely mentioned at all. doi.org/10.1007/s111...

A new preprint introduces SI-hacking: when guest editors publish excessively in their own special issues. More than 1,000 editors SI-hacked special issues are published each year. According to the authors, #MDPI accounts for 85% of them and #Frontiers for another 13%. arxiv.org/abs/2601.07563

AI research tools are trained on a literature that is structured by an unequal distribution of attention. Does their use simply recreate these biases ?

Research assessment reform and open science are frequently presented as aligned reform movements within science, with assessment reform expected to incentivize open science practices. However, empirical evidence of this integration remains limited. We conducted a quantitative content analysis of open science terminology in action plans from Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) signatories—institutions publicly committed to reforming research assessment. Analysing 248 publicly available action plans, we coded mentions of open science terms across values, umbrella, and operational categories. Results reveal skewed distributions of open science terms: most terms appear in fewer than 20% of documents. Values terms substantially outnumber operational terms in top mentions, suggesting organizations currently emphasize aspirational principles over concrete practices. Open Access emerges as the by far the most widely mentioned operational practice, while key activities emphasized in policy frameworks (Open Evaluation, Open Methods, Open Software) receive minimal attention. Overall, our findings suggest open science integration into assessment reform remains in early developmental stages, characterized by values-heavy discourse, and gaps between policy aspirations and organizational commitments. Beyond substantive findings, this study demonstrates how terminological analysis can track science reform movement development and provide data for longitudinal monitoring of open science and its convergence with reforms of research assessment.
