My expertise is in the applications and impacts of research in academia and the public sphere: how it's communicated, what makes it most visible to different audiences and why, what makes it "impactful" and how this impact is tracked, as well as how academics perceive impact when they publish, go up for promotion and tenure, and how they view it from a philosophical perspective throughout the different stages of their careers. I'm invested in creating a culture of responsible research evaluation in academia, which includes, but is not limited to, understanding the meaning behind research impact metrics and providing context and qualitative assessment in conjunction with quantitative assessment and metrics.I'm also a huge Open Access advocate; when I publish or present, I always ensure there is a discoverable Open Access version available, or I publish Open Access. I teach on copyright and author rights; I also teach how academics can make their own scholarly work more visible, discoverable, and potentially make more impact through author disambiguation, OA efforts, promotion, and social media engagement. My research focuses mainly on how academics use and understand research evaluation methods and research impact metrics as well as their perspectives on current research evaluation practices.
