Dr. Dr. habil. Lutz Bornmann works as a sociologist of science in the administrative headquarters of the
Max Planck Society in Munich (Germany). Since the late 1990s, he has been
working on issues in the promotion of young academics and scientists in the
sciences and on quality assurance in higher education. His current research
interests include research evaluation, peer review and bibliometric
indicators, especially the h index. He is a member of the editorial
board of the Journal of Informetrics
(Elsevier) and Scientometrics
(Springer). Furthermore he is senior associate editor at the International
Journal of Biomedical Science Editing (Kowsar)
and advisory editorial board member of EMBO Reports (Nature
Publishing group). Since 2004, he has published
about 90 papers in journals covered by Thomson Reuters with a total of more
than 1000 citations. His h index amounts to 16 (the publication list
and citation metrics are available on http://www.researcherid.com/rid/A-3926-2008).
Essential Science Indicators (ESI, Thomson Reuters) lists him in the top 1%
of all scientists based on total citations over the last ten years. ESI lists
six of his papers as highly cited papers (belonging to the top 1% of papers
in the social sciences). |
